can someone help me i keep on gettin an error when tryin to run any dos program on xp. it wont even run the program it will say on the task bar "inactive mugen.exe" and then it goes on saying exiting due to signal SIGSEGV general protection fault at eip=001037af......... does anyone know why it wont let me run any dos programs? please help me.phil
I would check your autoexec.nt file found in C:\Windows\System32 and see if there is a line that runs mugen.exe It sounds like the command to run mugen.exe has been added to it so it executes then terminates, showing inactive on the task bar. Autoexec.nt is the files used to create the DOS environment for XPs DOSVM
how do i check this? i have tried to check this by opening it up with notepad and then to see if it was in the command line but it isnt.
That was how you checked it. It still appears that for some reason something else is executing when you start a DOS session. Does it as well when you go to Start/Run and type cmd? The only other thing I can think of is to replace your autoexec.nt and config.nt with the ones in C:\WINDOWS\repair or from your XP cd. I would compare them first with the ones you have in your C:\WINDOWS\System32 directory.
i can open it up by start then run and typing cmd into it but its wheneva i want to run any exe from cmd it comes up with inactive on the taskbar.
ok its only just the mugen program which doesnt work but its also the games which are made from it, it did say it might have problems playing on xp but isnt there anyway of emulating the old dos to use this exe?
