Hi, I was booting up my Windows 3.1, and I got an error message that said "Incorrect System Configuration Settings". I run the SETUP program, but I'm not sure the correct settings. Help would be greatly appreciated.

It would help very much if you'd posted the specs for the machine running Win31, as opposed to the XP machine you've listed.
The specs are asked for, not as a poll, but to help us try and determine the best answer to your problem.

It's difficult to guess just what your "Incorrect System Configuration Settings" are without knowing your hardware.

The DOS version of Windows setup should present you with some basic information regarding your Windows settings - if you see anything there that doesn't match your hardware configuration, see if you can change it to something that does.

Frequently it's an incorrect video setting - if that's the case, try selecting either a lower resolution (640x480) or plain VGA

Was Win31 running ok before this?


A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.
