Tenderfoot Thahd aaronjbc123 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hi, I've been playing these games for awhile but I got a new XP computer recently, and exile wont run, or even install, in specific exile3. I know avernum is recommended, but I despise every to do with it, and want to play exile. The error is 16 bit Windows Subsytem C:/Windows/Sys32/Autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Windows apps. Choose close to terminate application. So I'm wondering is there any way that I could play exile3?

Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Follow the directions you see when you enter the tech support forum, at the top. This fixes the vast majority of these sorts of problems. - Jeff Vogel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan ef Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 This is the topic where SkeleTony talked about the help file he had that fixes your problem: 16 But MS-DOS error And this is a link to the help file: XPHomeFiles.exe edit: And, Mr. Vogel, as I said in that old topic, quite a few people encounter this problem. It would be great, if you offered a link to the patch on your company's site. SkeleTony isn't often around, so I seem to be the only one now who still has the link.

Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I'll look into this and see if I can find an official link to send people to. - Jeff Vogel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd aaronjbc123 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Yea, the XPHomeFiles makes it work great, thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan ef Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Good to hear. Microsoft doesn't have the patch, but here's a link to a tech support forum with patches for XPHome, XPProfessional and Win2000. Tech Forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 A helpful bit of text will soon be on all of the Exile support pages. I found this page http://windowsxp.mvps.org/16bit.htm to be extremely helpful. I will also have the repaired files available for download. Apparently, the damage is caused by a Trojan horse. Anyone who has had this problem may want to get some appropriately powerful Antivirus software in the near future. - Jeff Vogel - Jeff Vogel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
