im tryin to run mugen beta release version 2001.04.14 & when i click on the exe it goes

 

"16 bit ms-dos subsystem(menubar)>

c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. the system file is not suitable for running ms-dos windows applications. choose 'close' to terminate the application."

 

theres "close" & "ignore" buttons, but they both close the prgm when u click them. id appreciate any help on this.

To my knowledge, older versions of MUGEN don't work well under Windows XP. There is an XP patch somewhere, but I don't know where.

The problem is nothing to do with mugen; rather it is a common error with XP.

 

What happens is the system deletes the autoexec.nt file, required for all 16-bit apps. so it needs to be restored.

 

1. Do a search for autoexec.nt on your C drive, you should find it under "Repair" folder I think its called.

 

2. Copy this file

 

3. Paste it into C:\Windows\System32

 

4. Right-click on the new file, properties, make it read-only (stops xp deleting it again)

 

5. Now your mugen should work.
