Hello

When I try to install MM6 on windows XP I get a error message : Dos.exe must be in your autoexec.nt. So will not install. Any ideas why?

salamandre13, XP uses NTSF as it's native format. ME,98, etc use FAT32. FAT32 and DOS get along just fine. NTSF hasn't the foggiest what it should do with DOS. That's why it needs another program to 'interpret'. Suspect that is what it is all about.
You can have two partitions on your drive with one type OS on each and anytime you wanna play the game, use the appropriate partition and cut out a step with the potential to slow down a game.
