Hi guys i have a problem trying to play Simtower and install windows 3 without a problem.
During the Simtower setup i am unable to enter a name and therefore it wont install.
I've followed the beginners guide and have norton commander running in dosbox0.74
I've downloaded and unzipped windows 3 into its own folder in my c:\games folder
I then click on windows.bat in NC and am told by dosbox that ;

I then type and enter 'a' two times and am then told;
https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...0d&oe=574BF903
I enter 'a' again and windows 3 then begins loading.
I then receive several of these pop-up messages;

I then click yes several times and then windows seems to run o.k. cool whatever i just want to play simtower.

I then excitedly use the program manager and click 'file'-'run'-'browse'-navigate to simtower -'setup.exe' and then simtower setup begins to run, it then asks me to type my name but i cannot type anything!

I am unsure if this is a simtower problem or a windows 3 problem
Windows 3 registers my key strokes however
P.S. apart from mounting an iso image this is the most extreme computing ive ever attempted
