I can't even install the game - HELP
« on: 2005-10-28 21:43:29 »
When I insert the CD and click on install, I get this message:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT . The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.

I've looked for a patch to help it play on XP, but every patch I've seen you actually have to have the game installed

try to view autorun.ini and set some compatibility to .exe file that is mentioned in this file. Dunno if it helps but I hope so ;]

no no no, this is some common windows problem ... try google for the error message, you just have to re-enable something or overwrite some file in windows ... I had something like this before.

This issue is covered in the Great FF7 FAQ

That's a copy and paste of the windows support link posted earlier.

Good luck!
