Gaming old style..

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a couple of games loaded onto my new machine:- Half Life (1) and Star wars (The Phantom Menace)

They're old games, so should run fine on my new box.. (XP Home SP2) but I can't install them. I get the message..

C.\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Any ideas? I've googled of course, but before following the advice of strangers, I'd thought I'd try the gamers here. It seems to be a fairly common problem with XP and older games.

I've never played them before, but thought that over the weekend, with a bit of spare time, I'd just blow some monsters up..

Cheers

Liam
