But you may want to add a line reading "win" to AUTOEXEC.BAT so Windows is started automatically.

I remember this from all the times I tried to fix my old 486 and it's Win3.11.
Even managed to get an entire boot menu or so when I had Win3.11 on my P1. (With config.sys and autoexec.bat)

I believe That was like 3 - 4 years ago??? mg2:

So VPC can be "Installed" as if it a new, Fresh PC?? :w00t:

Now I can wreck PC's . Virtually! (I'm a pro in that :blink: )

@the_fifth_horseman: Sorry for any problems I might have caused with the "request". So I'll search on my then.

Yups.

[GTX2GvO]

So... Where can I get VPC again??? :blink: (freeware right?)

Don't mind the version though.
As long as it runs IN winXP and CAN run win3.11 Without problems either way.

[The Fifth Horseman]

You can get VPC from Microsoft's site. It's freeware.

Yes, I would know. They say it's not "supported" in Home, not that it doesn't work, and I can tell you it does.

win3.11 works in dosbox quite well as well

What!! :w00t:

Just as in. Install Win3.11 as if it's a DosVPC?
That would be easier. (If I find a working Win3.x install though)

Found a working win3.11 and installed it.

Well.... Ehhhmmm.... It works now.....

But can anyone pass me a spanish/english or spanish/dutch Dictionary?? :wallbash:

But all to well... I think I'd better look a bit further..

Or figure out how to change ALL visible text from spanish to english/dutch.

Hey... I set up a virtual machine with Dos7.1 and Windows3.11 for Workgroups (english this time).

Set the Ram to 16MB. (like, That's a huge amount for 3.11 )
Set up a Fixed size 650MB virtual Hard Disk. (So this IS clogging up 650MB's)

Manage to crash win3.11 in 1 hour though. (Not my record. Record: Win95, Real PC, 20 minutes)

So... Ehhmm...
How do I set up SVGA in Win3.11, While using that virtual 8 MB crap card? (I'm stuck @ VGA 16color)

And sound support. VPC gives you a SoundBlaster 16bit. How to set that in Win3.11?

Andof course I need some more basic info on making Win3.11 as much fun as it was on the Real PC.

_____________________________________
Side question: Is it allowed to compress the Virtual HD and offer that as a pre set and booting disk for people who just want to experience Windows3.11 (again). Or does this count as offering Windows 3.11 itself and therefor not being allowed.

Cause, I have to say. It's a lot easier to set something up IF the Hard disk ITSELF can boot up.

Or maybe having only dos 7.1 on it, since it's installed under a GNU/GPL Freeware licence .
