I managed to source a copy of Ground Zero from a mate. So I chucked in the CD, hit Setup, it loads up to the bit where you have the three options: Install, More or Quit. I hit install and it comes up with an error box: 16 bit Windows Subsytem 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. It also has an ignore button, but naturally that does nothing and the program freezes. Anyone with any help or ideas? -- Regards, James Christie THE OPTIMIST, PESSIMIST & BI ENGINEER To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. To the BI engineer, the glass is only half as big as it needs to be ..... and it's bloody near empty. "BOY".

The setup program for the mission packs reacts badly with XP for some reason. Win2K as well. -- -- There is no spoon.

The gamex86.dll has to be the one for the 3.20 patch and that is not the one on the rogue disk. When you install the 3.2 patch it puts the 3.2 gamex86.dll file in there but if you copy *.* from the disk to the pc you will over write it! Thus if you or "one" overwrites it, you must copy the one in \Quake2\baseq2 to the rogue (or xatrix for the reckoning!) directory! Hope that helps. Shogo
