Hi!
I'm Missing my Win 3.11 Disk #6. It is a black diskette with a white label.
On the label it says:

Disk 1 - Setup
Windows-Series
Disk format: HD (1.44 MB)
version 3.11

Does anyone have a similar disk? Could you send me the contents?
Please Help!

Sorry Grinder, but as this is an abondongames site, the last thing you'll get here is a copyright protected :blink: microsoft OS (even a part of it). Personally I can understand your problem. However, better go looking somewhere else.

It's not a stand-alone operating system like Windows 95 and above, it requires Ms-Dos to be the running operating system first, and Dos games run crappy on Windows 3.11, so it's still better to use just Ms-Dos for games... <_<

Good point Freddy :wall:

I know, but that is exactly why i would use win3.1 instead of win95. If you need windows just because of word and internet, 3.1 is much better because it is not a standalone OS, as FreeFreddy metioned. So if I want to play games, I turn on the PC and run them straight from DOS, and if I want to write mails etc. I turn the PC on, go to the DOSprompt and start windows. If i would have win95 or 98, i would have to use a bootdisk if i wanted to play games from DOS.
