AUTOEXEC.NT "I can't locate it

[Nate-0]

Ok in the guide to run DOS games...It says to find this file by doing doing /C:/Windows/system32 blah blah, and I have looked all over and couldn't find them, are these files similar on all computers, so would some one be able to transfer them to me? Or something?

thanks

Are you trying to run dos? What version of dos and what version of Windows do you use?

Autoexec.nt - so he's using Windows NT or above.

Try copying autoexec.nt from c:\windows\repair to c:\Windows\system32
If you can't find it, create it and paste this (you can ignore the lines that begin with rem):

@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

if the above don't works for you try this on (if you are on XP, as usual we have to guess it):
expand X:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

Replace the X with your cd drive.
(Put your XP setup cd in )

You can't find the autoexec.nt because it's compressed on your cd as autoexec.nt_ in the i386 folder.

If your on w2k, no idea where it is ,long time ago i kick't that bastard from my HD. :Angry:

EDIT:your lucky day mister "i don't know your OS", i found my old setup cd for w2k and it also hase a autoexec.nt_ in a i386 folder. So the same as for XP goes here.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say
