I am having a problem installing old games that were designed for windows 95.
The auto play menu starts up, but then when I click install, it gives me an
error about how a .dll file was not designed for 16-bit subsystems and
MS-DOS--something like that. The error prompts me to close the program and
has 2 choices, "close" and "ignore". i have tryed both, and they both close
the program. Through Help & Support on my computer I have fixed it so that
those errors dont come up anymore, although the program still closes. I have
also used the Program Compatiblilty Wizard, which doesnt seem to help at all.
Can I just not run those old programs anymore?

Does it mention autoexec.nt as well? If so have a look at

Have you used compatibility mode on the installers too? By setting it on
the install.exe or setup.exe on the CD?
