Job done...BINGO! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

ok - i'm on SP2. Have changed folder options to show hidden files but it still ain't raising it's head 😠

Thanks for the advice. Still can't find that DLL Cache folder in system 32...is it hidden?

system is clean and fully checked. I think i can live with the slight flicker at the bottom of the display during gameplay after having been banging my head against the wall for weeks trying to even install it. THANK YOU ALL EVER SO MUCH. I really appreciate your help...if I ever meet you, please …

err....progress. The game seems to have installed!!! There are a few display problems (the task bar is flickering a bit at the bottom of the screen.) All i did was rename the exg file to exe...bingo...YOU GUYS ARE GENIUS>>>THANKYOU. I've tried to drop a copy into the DLLCACHE folder but I cannot …

Hi guys. I have SP2 on this machine. My anti virus (AVG Pro) is up to date and a scan today is clear. I also have checked with ewido and adaware that there is no spyware on the machine. So...let me get this right. Rename NTVDM.EXG to NTVDM.EXE, leave it where it is and then drop a copy into the …

wooops... ok missed a bit... here's the screen shot of what I got... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/Babaodo/bcb362d2.jpg

...and, yes...the error message I get when trying to click on "edit" in system32 is exactly the same as the one I get when trying to click on the setup.exe file on some game discs

OK - thanks for your help (and patience) I did what you suggested and in both cases I got the message... "NTVDM is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Hmmmmm...so what next?????

ok...i got to comand prompt...typed "edit" and got "the system cannot find the file c:\windows\system32\edit.com." I was typing edit at the end of the string c:\documents and settings\(my username) ...is this right? You have probably noticed i'm slow with all this!

It's not a DOS game and there's no issue with sound as the disc has a preview movie file that I can play fine. Have tried all compatibility modes and searched this forum but still can't find anything to solve it. If anyone has a step by step answer i'd be sooo grateful

OK - cheers. But what do I actually have to do to get older games to run?

Hi - thanks for the reply. I'm not getting any "16-bit subsystem" error messages. Forgive me as I don't know what NTVDM is (should I be shot?). I don't have any DOS games to try either.

Hi all...PLEASE HELP. When trying to install Amerzone (and quite a few other, older games on XP) I have the same trouble. If autorun is enabled, the disc opens the installer window and I, errr, click on the "install" button. Nothing happens. So I open the disc up and there's the setup.exe icon... …
