yet another SYSTM DUMP.TXT problem

[Chammy]

I had just purchased a new mother board,an Epox wth nForce 2 chipset,AMD Athlon 2400 XP +,ATI Radeon 7200,512mb DDR,60 gig hard drive.I know that this has come up before but no one seems to know.I am not sure if my grphics card is ready t poop out or what.But before the start of the mission after it has loaded,all that appears is a white screen with "continue" at the bottom and a bell sound.Then when i press escape the error messege appears.I have a friend that has the AMD athlon 2000 and he also has an ATI card,but I think the 9200 something,his seems to be running glitch free.My OS is XP Pro.With DFLW I get to play for a while then the frame rates start to drop,then it just ceases and I have to restart or it restarts by it self.

i know this is a bit old thread but did you ever get it to work any?

i would say update the whole system all the hardware and windows update site.

but it may have been to late to tell you that this is a old thread.

basic when one buy's a new system go and update the whole thing then the games may work 100% great.

[Chammy]

Wow, that was quite a while back but thanks. Yeah I got past it, and i fergot how, now when I reinstall it I get a messege saying Path EXEC or something of that matter, and I cant install the game, althoguh I can install Joint Ops and Extreme but not DFBHD or Land Warrior.

[Hellfighter]

do it say 16bit error with it? when you try to instill them 2 games?

"16 bit Windows Subsystem AUTOEXEC.NT The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications."

if it is the same error then go here get my patch i made will fix it. this is due to Windows Xp Sp2 it goofup, left out two files will fix it right, you can all so get them out of your windows backup folder too.

get it going 100% check for windows updates there are new update and GFX card updates too.

[Chammy]

Thats exactly what it said, I'm over here trying to look for the game so I can get that messege. Hmm , I'll give it a try. I'll report back later.

[Hellfighter]

ok, i know it will work i am the tech guy here for you all.

NovaHq.net Tech-support staff i the new guy here

[Chammy]

Ok, what I get is this:
"The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH."

Ok, I tried the one option listed at the Microsoft center but it stil doesnt work so this problem might be a little diferetn that expected.

[Chammy]

Oh, I get this error with DF TFD, DFBHD and DF LW. *sobs*

[Hellfighter]

ok look it up here: C:\WINDOWS\repair

be instill the repair folder copy and past it into windows/system32 that should be it.

you are running windows Xp SP2 right?

it be in the repair folder of windows xp

you can call novalogic, inc tech support team now 1-818-878-0325 right now they are there i got off the telephone and ask them thats what they told me to tell you.

ps don't fore get to restart your system before trying to instill the games, after you restarted and back to desktop then try to instill the games should work now.

[Chammy]

ok, i did that, so now what? Hmm, I'm going to try and reinstall DFBHD again, I'll report back....

[Chammy]

[Chammy]

Oh, I just got done installing SP2, earlier I couldnt get a download from Microsoft to work yet, but this time I was able to get one from a website and and I'm going to attempt to reinstalll DFBHD, its been so long.....I hope this works this time.

[Chammy]

Well i installed it and still, i get this messege:

The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH.

Thats it!

[Chammy]

This happens when I try to install BHD. I installed the SP2 pack without any problem.

[Hellfighter]

you need to go here and do as others have done to fix it

Link: http://www.novahq.net/forum/showthre...threadid=25558

this always happen with SP2 good news you can fix it.

[Chammy]

Ok, im going there now, i have been trying to find some info lately on how to fix this. I looked into the system32 areas of the autoexec.nt and config.nt and made sure most of them ended up with the .exe ending. thanks, I'm going to cross my fingers.

[Hellfighter]

don't change the .nt to .exe you get more error doing that.

i think your system32 files are damage or gone bad in some way.

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to access a 16-bit application from Windows NT and are using Fprot.exe, the following error message is displayed:


The Win16 Subsystem was unable to enter Protected Mode, DOSX.EXE must be in your AUTOEXEC.NT and present in your PATH.

CAUSE:
Fprot.exe inadvertently changes the file's attributes to read/hidden/system attributes. The following may be affected:
• WINNTxx
• WINNTxx\SYSTEM
• WINNTxx\SYSTEM32
• WINNTxx\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
• WINNTxx\SYSTEM32\REPAIR

RESOLUTION
Compare the damaged system with a fresh install of NT on a second computer and reset the attributes with either the "attrib" command or File Manager.

Oh man, I think I'm up the creek with this then, I dont have a second comp, just the ability to purge my computer.

You see, I can install JO and Extreme but not DFBHD or DFLW.

Ooohh shazbutt!
