ive done all of the above but the problem with mine is it says something missing from the kernel32.dll library or something.
i found that is anything didnt work then go to system32\repair\ get autoexec.nt and the other one, copy them to the file with your game and change all the *systemstart* <something like that> to the location you made your game in and go to programs advanced on your game and change that to the autoexec location, and it works but for some reason the programs tab is missing of some programs.
