Unflappable Drayk Princess Ruth Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I've been playing Exile on a Mac for years, and just got a new PC which I've tried to download Blades onto. Unfortunately, everytime I try to install it says my autoexec file doesn't support programs for windows and dos (or words to that effect). The first time I tried I managed to install and play, which then crashed my computer completely and I had to do a system restore. Now it won't even let me install the basic program that you download. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan ef Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I guess that your OS is Windows XP. Try this link for support: How to troubleshoot program compatibility issues in Windows XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Princess Ruth Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 Thanks for all your help, but I need more! (sorry). Reconfiguring my autoexec and config files fixed the autoexec but shifted the problem to the config, and nothing I did would remove the problem. Seems that changing the config mended the autoexec and vice versa, but nothing would do both. I think the problem is autoexec in my c:\I386 folder. Anyone with some computer knowledge would really be in my good books right now! Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk tbg10101 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Here are some things that I would do: 1. restart your comuter 3. if that doesn't work then re-install Exile. 2. if those two things don't work then archive all of your stuff onto DVDs or CDs. Re-Install the system. THIS IS LAST RESORT! Hope his helps P. S. Question: Is this the first Exile? P. P. S. Question: Why did you leave Mac?

Unflappable Drayk Princess Ruth Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 I've reinstalled Exile about 6 times. Everytime I change something I reinstall and try again. How would I go about reinstalling my system? And the reason I switched from Mac is because I moved out of my parents house and the computer they got me for my birthday happened to be a PC.

Garrulous Glaahk tbg10101 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 You can take my Mac once you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse . . . On a mac re-installing is really easy, but you have Windows . . . Do you have a system disk (CD)? If you do then you should just be able to pop that little baby in there and follow the on-screen instructions. If not you may need to contact Microsoft here.
