Hey guys and gals
This problem has occured twice now and i have been able to fix it yet i am just curious what causes it. Being a collector of old games that require MS DOS to run. Using XP it runs off of cmd.exe and when i go to open one of the dos games, an error message appears and states that cmd.exe is not a suitable program to run this file. Once i re-install windows, the problem dissapears. I am just curious why it occurs
Thanks for the help.

Have you tried to run your old Dos games in Compatibility mode?
