Follow this link and I think you'll find the answer to your problem. It seems that your autoexec.nt or config.nt may be corrupt.

EDIT: I just noticed you are new so welcome! Since you are also at beginner level, I'll pull down the link I prefer for you from all the clutter in that thread I posted. Look Here. Good luck and post back either way it goes.

 

i finally had a chance to try your suggestion but it didn't work. any other ideas? thanks alot for your time.

 

The first thing to test when you are having problems with MS-DOS-based programs is the Windows Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM) subsystem. You can use the Command.com utility to test whether the NTVDM subsystem is running properly. To start Command.com, follow these steps:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type command.com, and then click OK.
This should start a command prompt window. If this does not work properly, then there is a problem with the NTVDM subsystem, and further steps will be needed to fix this.

So do the above steps 1 and 2 and see if a dosbox appears without a problem. Note: You may have to type exit to close this session of command.com when or if it appears.

What are or is the name of the[these] game?
How are you trying to install this or these games? By this I mean,
*are you using windows "add/remove program" wizzard
*did this setup autostart such as when you insert a cd
*are you exploring the cd and manually selecting any setup or install selection

When you get this error do you have the option to continue or ignore the warning or error? If so do so. Are you familiar with the "compatibility wizard "?

 

Hey jjja,
Where did you go? You still out there????? How are you coming along on this? It's been a few days and I thought I'd check on you.

The biggest problem I have is I can't get the windows to the start run comand. After every boot up all i get is the black screen with the hard drive failure on it that I posted above..I am still working and searching at it. Thank goodness I did save my old files before I cleaned out my computer. But I still have some knew ones on there I will have to do over if I can't get it up.

Thanks this is a great site and I will helping out,
Casie

Hi Casie. You need to put your follow-up / reply in your original thread to keep us from getting confused.

This is the one you want.
