[.enfo.]

this is some kind of error i get when trying to install df2, i dont really know what it means either, lol

[Steve]

same prob here http://www.novahq.net/forum/showthre...threadid=21638

and here
http://www.novahq.net/forum/showthre...threadid=18425

generally caused by a virus or spyware

answer here :


there is quite a lot of ppl with this problem with many diff software.

here is the knowledgebase article @ microsoft > http://support.microsoft.com/default...en-us%3B324767

there is a number of solutions there.

generally it happens when there is a problem with autoexec.nt being corrupt it seems.

i think the only definate solution is to reinstall XP :/

the file can get corrupted by viri and i think also spyware as some ppl's spybot keep deleting the file.

this thread >> http://www.webuser.co.uk/cgi-bin/for...b=6&o=93&part= explains a bit more on how to do the fixes suggested my microsoft.

thanks steve, got it up to here but where iss this folder
17. Right-click the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 folder, and then click Paste.
18. Locate the Command.com file, right-click the expanded Command.com file, and then click Copy.
19. Right-click the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 folder, and then click Paste. Restart your computer.

edit, nvm found it, i'll restart later and c if it worked

[Steve]

C:\WINDOWS\system32\



%SYSTEMROOT%\
just means 'where windows is' basically

[Steve]

[Steve]

[.enfo.]

oh well, thats df2, lw & tfd i cant play :/

[Steve]

hmm you copied all the files across?

if this doesn't work, then you might not be able to install anything at all.

i got the same trouble with Rain bow Six (first one) i gave up on it. other games i can instill ok, i got Rainbow Six3 later on and it instill without error, don't know what to make out of it. i try to instill the first Rainbow six still get that same error above with DF2 gotting. my DF2 was already instill long time all go.

i copied everything fine yes, i did it all, and i can install all the others, i just cant join servers, single player works fine, lol

[Hellfighter]

sorry i did not read this sooner

here you go place the two .NT files into System32 folder then start>run type in CMD clink-ok after type exit now restart your system to desktop your error crap be no more.

it do work

there no need to restill windows Xp family at all. you basic be placing good working files back in.

got my Rainbow six instill without any error's 16bit had to think what all that info they had up? so i made it really eassyer to do.


only use this if you getting the same error message above and running Windows Xp family SP2


there a text inside with info on how to do it.
1.) put the two files inside C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder
2.) then Start>run type in: cmd press enter
3.) then type in: exit press enter
4.) restart your Computer.

now try to instill that game. there should be no more error crap
