Might be that your autoexec.nt is corrupt.
Copy the file from c:\windows\repair to c:\windows\system32.

Possibly, JW, but I've had that error message many times in the past on many
applications, even those without any form of copy protection. However, from
the text of his message, it would appear that it is a hand me down copy of
FS2K.

Compatibility is found when you right click the fs2000.exe file and choose properties. The window that pops up has a tab for it.

Oh, I've had it before. But usually when in a state of daze I tried to run
OS/2 software on Windows ;)

not that it would help. That dialog is only meant to enable Win16 and DOS
applications to run that have special memory requirements.
It won't fix a corrupt exe.
