Finally - Rogue Spear working under Win2K SP2
I seemed to have spent most of this last weekend trying to get Rogue Spear to work under Windows 2000 SP2. The problem I was having was that when trying to launch Rogue Spear, the splash screen would appear, but then the game would not load.

Even installing the 2.05 patch did not solve the problem.
Eventually I managed to get things working. Here's how :
(This is the UK version I am using).
Installed Rogue Spear (I recommend a Full Installation, as I has some problems when using the compact).
Installed the UK 2.05 patch (6.8MB) - Note that I had to download "EaxUnified.exe" and place it in the "redist" folder within the Rogue Spear directory in order for the patch to install properly.
Download the NoCD exe from gamecopyworld. The only one that seemed to work was "Rogue Spear v2.05 [uS] No-CD #2" which was 1.5MB.
Extract this and copy it to your Rogue Spear directory (you may want to backup your original EXE first), and overwrite the one that is already there.
That should be it. Even though it is the US NoCD it works perfectly with my UK installation.
Finally, I am able to play RS under Windows 2000 - Hurrah !

This is prob a old question and dont feel like searching for it when you guys here seem to know whats up about stuff so here I go.
Im running windows 2000. When I try and install RS on my system I get a: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
C:\WINNT|SYSTEM32\AUTOEXE.NT. The system file is not
suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows
applications.
I had it installed once be4 on this comp just it would crash at the screen with the 2 teams and the map info. I uninstalled it and then try to reinstall it this is what I get.. Pls help me some old friends asked me to come back and play for a few days sense our clan isnt that active in some games. Thanks alot for the help people.

Yes it is.
c:\WINNT\system32\autoexec.nt = c:\WINDOWS\system32\autoexec.nt.
The WINNT folder can be WINDOWS folder in some Windows installations and vice versa.
Do as dosfreak suggested.
