I got a problem - i think my 16-bit emulator that XP has is broken - no matter what older game (3.11) i play, i always get the same answer:

16-bit Windows-Subsystem:

The NTVDM-CPU has found an illegal instruction. CS:[some hex codes] choose Close to stop the application.

Under that there are buttons Close and ignore, but if i press ignore i get the same error with another hex code.

Can someone help, or tell me where i can fix this problem?

Never mind - i found the problem myself:

I did the following:
expand J:\i386\config.nt_ c:\windows\system32\config.nt
expand J:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
expand J:\i386\command.co_ c:\windows\system32\command.com
exit

(note - J is my CD-rom drive with WIN XP CD)

and it worked!
