WinXP Pro - Need a few answers

[Nariman]

Am using WinXP Pro SP1.Please help me with the following querries.
1) Every now and then I keep loosing "AUTOEXEC.NT" It simply vanishes from C:\Windows\System32. I have kept a copy of the same and have to paste the same again fo my DOS based applications to work. WHY OH WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ?

2) I would like to know the folder/s which hold the files shown on the taskbar as well as on "QuickLaunch"

3) Whenever my granson starts PC game "South Park Rally" he get the following message :

"SOUTH PARK RALLY : SPRALLY2.EXE - Entry point
not found. The procedure entry point SUnMapLS_IP_EBP_20
could not be located in the dynamic link library
Kernel32.dll"

Can someone help me resolve this ? I could have uninstalled the same but I do not remember from where I got this game to reinstall the same.

Try setting the read-only attribute of autoexec.nt file.

The taskbar displays the programs which are currently running & there is no folder for taskbar. The quicklaunch folder :
<Drive>:\Documents And Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

You need to activate the hidden file display to see the folder.

What is the system requirement for South Point Rally and is your current configuration sufficient? I think the error message indicate that the game need an AGP card, while you have onboard graphics.
