Hi, I downloaded CalmiraII 3.2 and when I unzip and extract to floppy it gets to Tips file and then says error writing to disk, too full. I tried three floppies and it does the same on all three. I am going through the same unzip process as I used for dos622 and win31 and did not meet any problems with those. What is wrong? Thanks for any advice, I am doing all this using win98se 3.5 floppy, winzip program, and trying to install in my 486 running dos622 with win31. Mary

Also, while I am here, I am also trying to get my cdrom working. I downloaded the cdindos.exe files and installed on my 486. Now at boot up when it is trying to load CD-ROM it says: CD_ROM Device Driver for IDE (Four Channels supported) (C)Copywright Oak Technology Inc.1993-1996 Driver Version:V340 Device Name: IDECD000 No drives found, aborting installation. C:\>C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.exe /X Device driver not found: 'IDECD000' No valid CDROM device drivers selected Device driver not found: 'IDECD000' No vaid CDROM device drivers selected I did not type the above twice by accident, that is how it appears. I could use help with this also. Thanks again, Mary And when I load Win31 and go into File Manager I see it listed like this: c:\ cdrom dos windows and on the right side: C:[MS-DOS_6] cdrom dos windows autoexec.aii autoexec.bat autoexec.old command.com config.aii config.old config.sys mscdex.exe wina.20 386

It would seem to me that you might try to format each desk before you use it.Alot times it is also alot better to start with a new disk. Did you check to see if there is something on the disk before hand? You must remember that you can only squeeze 1.44 mb on one floppy. Also check the disk to see if on the left side has a little black cover over it. If not,turn it over and flip that little switch up. good luck...

how about unzipping TO the harddrive? diskettes have limited capacity.

Mary, Your 486 may have an older proprietary CD-ROM drive attached to it. It may be hooked up to a CD-ROM controller card or a sound card. In either case the best thing to do is to open up your computer case, get the make and model number of your CD-ROM drive and also get the same information for any sound card or controller card it might be attached to. Then search for the specific driver for that CD-ROM drive. If you find that it is attached to a sound card, the sound card installation program might include installation of the CD-ROM drive. Otherwise you will want to find drivers for both.

Did you download the Calmira II 3.20 v with the Installer? That download is only 1.10 mb. You should have more than enough room to download that progrom.As for the cd-rom ,I just installed one on my dads old 486,It is not as easy as it looks.Now once you get Calmira setup,You will need a program called winwall,and winlogo. To find those programs just look on this post one up or down. Or you can get it at www.winsite.com.

I am downloading and unzipping on my win98se pc, and I do not want to unzip to my hard drive, right? I downloaded CalmiraII 3.2 I will go try the 3.0 with installer. After I successfully install Calmira on the 486, then I will challenge the cd-rom. Then I will install internet. Thanks for all your suggestions, it really helps alot. Mary
