Hey, I have played Freespace and 2 for a long time, since its release, really. However, when I got my new computer, I was astonished that I could not play it!

Every time I popped the cd in, it would say

"The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications."

What can I do to get my beloved Freespace 2 back? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks!:confused:

Your autoexec.nt is corrupt.

Yep.

Here's the MS page on it

I knew I'd seen this problem before

You should also try out the SCP, if you've got a good enough computer.

The 'Downloading and Installing' page is a little out of date; the latest installer can be found here

The SCP also doesn't require CDs...

my friend had the same problem last week - have you installed the windows service patches or update packs or anything along those lines?
