@Xineoph

I can't help but it may take a while for people to reply, sometimes days...

Windows XP users will have to move the file Choice.exe to the folder C:\Windows\, to make batch files work in general, if you just want the batch file for these particular scenarios to work, leave it in the folder.

This is from the read-me file. Have you tried this?

 

[Xineoph]

yeah i tried running it with it in the Windows Folder, and without... still nothing. =\

and DOSBox is no help either...not that i figured it would..but still.

The batch file works for me (in XP pro). What exactly is the error message you are getting?

 

[Xineoph]

16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem

C:\WINDOWS\system\cmd.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Close Ignore

If you are still having problems after trying this then please post your autoexec.nt and config.nt files here. I think the batch file works for me because I remember changing these two files at some point in the past.
