i dont know why, my computer freezes or becomes dead slow after i press ALT+CTRL+DEL, and the i tried the XP system restore thing, but it didnt restore anything. i tried 2 different dates, nothin happened
Plus, i was trying to install a game from original cd (Secret Service), i got an error message
16 but Windows Subsystem
C\windows\system32\autoexec.nt The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft applications. Choose Close to terminate the application. CLOSE IGNORE

put in your windows xp install cd.
click start>run>type "expand X:\i386\autoexec.nt_" (replace x:\ with your cd drive letter).
Then if the game still doesn't work try right-clicking>properties>compatability>and set it to use windows 98\me or windows 95 compatibility.
I went through all of this yesterday morning with quake II lol.
edit: and you don't have an 18ghz cpu. :P

not sure if this will work but.
put in your XP cd.
click start>run>type 'sfc /scannow'>click ok\press enter
it then scans your computer and replaces\fixes some windows files.
Could help with your problem. Definately worth a shot.
If that doesn't work then maybe reinstall windows (or do a repair install).

Does the task manager run if you: Start>Run <type> taskmgr ?
