Hi! Im into old PC strats and Heroes Of Might and Magic is one of my all time favs! Well I bought it back in July, installed it and played it fine! I was a little skeptical because of the complaints you hear about Windows XP not playing 95 games without problem.

Well anyway I uninstalled the game after completing it for some space, but the other day I fancied a go. Well I tried installing it in all different ways but I keep getting the same message
"C:\WINDOWSZSYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows Applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application.

I havn't got a clue what that means but I was hoping someone on here could help! I havn't changed my edition or copy of XP, I havn't changed anything on my computer since last playing it so I have no idea what it could be! Pleeeeaaaase help!!!
