Overseer/XP

I've got winXP sp2 and OverSeer CD's.

How do I get it to run?
I used Dosbox on UAKM.

Overseer was not made for DOS. It is Windows only. Just install and run it as normal, although you may need to use the Win98 COMPATIBILITY mode under the "properties" tab on the shortcut.
doesn't work...
compatibility mode on 95 and 98 dpesn't work either.

Please tell EXACTLY what errors you are getting. Maybe then we can narrow down the problem. Also include your COMPLETE system specs.

As I insert CD1 into the drive, I hear the background music and get the following error:
16bit Windows Subsystem
C:\Windows\System32\autoexec.nt. the system file is not suitable for running MSDOS and MS windows applications, choose close to terminate the application.
Double clicking on the CD drive on my coumputer, gives me the same error, with the background music.

trying to run the Setup.exe gives me the same error, even if I put it in compatibility mode, either in 95 or 98 mode.

Go to your autoexec.nt file at C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.nt and right click on it, then select Properties and put a check in the "Read-only" box, save the changes and exit.

I don't have that file in that folder.

That is the problem. Do a file search on your computer. It should be somewhere on your system. Just copy it to that folder and adjust the read only. That should fix the problem.
Sweet.

Got it to install and it's running.

Thing is, every few minutes, I get an ingame error, that says that an error couldn't be found...
and the game minimizes itself every ten minutes.
