Help with SPMBT

[VikingNo2]

I have a XP machine and I have been running MBT for about 4 months with no problems. I just installed it and ran the game with no errors. For some reason last week the game give me a error when I try to launch it, the error reads C:/windows?system32/cmd.exe ; C:/windows/system32/autoexec.nt system file not suitable for running MSDos files. I went to the SPCAMO site and try the sugestion that where there none of them help. Anybody know what I can try next. I have deleted and realoaded but that didn't help.

Thanks for any help

As always, a good question is, have you installed anything else in that interval that might have messed stuff up?

I opened autoexec.nt with notepad and this is what it looks like. Maybe you could compare yours to see if any changes have been made. The only mbt lines I added were the last 2.

@echo off

REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.

REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe

REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir

REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx

REM The following line enables Sound Blaster 2.0 support on NTVDM.
REM The command for setting the BLASTER environment is as follows:
REM SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330
REM where:
REM A specifies the sound blaster's base I/O port
REM I specifies the interrupt request line
REM D specifies the 8-bit DMA channel
REM P specifies the MPU-401 base I/O port
REM T specifies the type of sound blaster card
REM 1 - Sound Blaster 1.5
REM 2 - Sound Blaster Pro I
REM 3 - Sound Blaster 2.0
REM 4 - Sound Blaster Pro II
REM 6 - SOund Blaster 16/AWE 32/32/64
REM
REM The default value is A220 I5 D1 T3 and P330. If any of the switches is
REM left unspecified, the default value will be used. (NOTE, since all the
REM ports are virtualized, the information provided here does not have to
REM match the real hardware setting.) NTVDM supports Sound Blaster 2.0 only.
REM The T switch must be set to 3, if specified.
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3

REM To disable the sound blaster 2.0 support on NTVDM, specify an invalid
REM SB base I/O port address. For example:
REM SET BLASTER=A0

REM Speed up the mouse in an acceleration curve
lh c:\mousectl 6,7,8,9,10,10,12,15

If there was any auto udates that came out I'm sure my wife or my daughter installed them. As far as installing any other programs, other than Turbo Tax no. DD what did you have to redo ?

If there was any auto udates that came out I'm sure my wife or my daughter installed them. As far as installing any other programs, other than Turbo Tax no. DD what did you have to redo ?I had to go back and recreate the shortcut all over again for some reason. After that, it worked.

Do you have XP Pro or Home Edition?

[VikingNo2]

I did notice that the Autoexec.nt is in the windows/I386 folder and there isn't one in the system32 folder ?

DD I have XP home edition

I also created a batch file in NotePad to start my game from that loads the screen capture utility, then the game.

I figured it out I had a autoexec.nt file in a folder called repair, I think my wife installed Adware and it tagged that file for some reason and moved, the game seems to be working now, thanks for all the quick replys

I had the same thing happen to me that happened to Viking2. I copied the autoexec.nt file from the save folder to the sys32 folder and now the game works again.
