Title: autoexec.nt retard
Post by: nlinneman on January 07, 2007, 02:07

First of all, I am not very good with computers and will probably be confused very easily so please bear with me.  I recently tried to play an old version of a dos game (downloaded) and ended up screwing around with my computers autoexec.nt and config.nt files for some reason.  Anyways..... I accidently changed what to open the file with in properties and now I am having all sorts of problems.  How can I fix this file back to what it was before.  I have already tried the system restore and that hasn't seemed to help. Any help would be great.

:welcome:

If you right click on the file and got to "open with" it will allow you to browse for the program that you want to open it with.
Once you have found the original one that opened it you can tick the box that says always open with this file, apply and then click ok and it should open with your original program each time you run it.

You usually need a DOS emulator to play the old games with.

If you tell us what the game is someone may know which emulator will do it
