I recently purchased Might and Magic 6 on ebay brand new in the box. I am trying to install the program on my PC and I am having trouble. My computer has Windows XP and it has a 1.8GHz processor. It wont let me install the program. Every time I try to install I get the following error in a dialog box labeled in the upper left corner
(16 bit windows subsystem)
C:\Windows\System32\AutoExec.NT The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and MS Windows Applications
Thanks
