I don't think you have a error with QT, the old game may need a bit of help to run
on your win2k machine,XP comes with this item as a default item.
You can do 2 or 3 things to get the games to run/install in win2k
Start/Search type in autoexec.nt you will see one in the c:\winnt\repair
folder right click on it and select COPY
Now open Explore and Paste it in the C:\winnt\system32 folder......
OR
read the links below,they will help you set the machine up to run DOS (16 bit) base
programs...
