Strange. It works for me under Win2K Pro and WinXP Pro SP2.

And it certainly isn't 16 bit, nor a system file. And what's Autoexec.NT got to do with it?

Is this a problem from the installer? Or from the program once installed?

OK, it looks like the installer is a 16-bit application - so it will work just about everywhere - but his can give problems on some XP SP2 systems.

See http://www.amigaforever.com/kb/4-131.html and http://www.amigaforever.com/kb/6-104.html for more information.

For those who experience installation problems, there's a zip file containing just the application - no installer needed, just run it.

OK it does look like it is an SP2 error. I had the problem also with Vs6sp6B

The recommendation is to replace autoexec.nt from the backup. I discovered that there was no autoexec.nt in my C:\WINDOWS\system32 so I copied the one in from C:\WINDOWS\repair to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and now everything seems to work OK.

Thanks Microsoft.

Re: Another Free Solver is available from...

OK, I got greedy. It's no longer free. but is now "affordable", "cheap", "inexpensive", or any other euphemism for the fact that you have to pay something.
