Win 7 and wolfenstein 3D error
Wolfenstein 3d worked very well in XP SP2 with same specs.

I decided to load Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit and I got this error

16 bit subsystem

C:\ Program-1\wolfen-1\wolf3d\wolf3d.exe

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction

CS:00073 IP:178e OP:FF FF C1 3e 80

Yes I tried troubleshooting in Win 7 and that is what it said, above. Any ideas on what I can try to fix this?

Thanks

I read the sticky thanks I just posted my error because it was Windows 7. I guess its the same with XP Vista and 7. One of these days I'll try to fix that is suggested with Autoexec.nt and config.nt see if it corrects it.

Get hold of DosBox (http://www.dosbox.com) and run it within that.

I don't get how this game can work in XP SP2 with same specs and not work in Windows 7 32 bit with xp mode. I have used Dosbox before but, on older games.

I ran this game on Win7 x64 without any problems. Didn't even have to set compatibility mode. With that being said, I personally thought it blew and pitched it, but that's beside the point. Unless this is a problem specific to x86, Windows 7 is not your problem.

Edit: Pardon me, I was referring to the new Wolfenstein. Disregard.
