Question for those of you that run windows 3.11 in VMware... Is there a way to enhance the default vga display? VM tools doesn't support this operating system & trying to enhance from the 3.11 disks to say, super vga 800x600 256 colors just wrecks my windows (wont boot from dos & displays a driver error). Some other default display settings seem to boot up windows but just display a garbeled mess. All attempts have required me to reinstall. Anyone had success? I've found nothing on the net as yet.

You may try this patch for the default Super VGA driver: VESA patch for svga256.drv

No luck, same result. I have a feeling that the posters in that thread are running 3.x on a PC rather than through Virtual Machine like myself. Thanks anyway, hopefully someone else who has found a solution spots this thread... hopefully :-)

Try running it on another program Virutal PC is much better to run Windows 3.11, because it emulates hardware components that exists in real world: * Sound Card is a Sound Blaster 16 (has drivers for Win3.11) * Graphics card is a S3 Trio 32 4MB (has drivers for Win3.11 up to TrueColor) * Network card is a DEC/Intel ???? (forgot the number now - has drivers for Win3.11)

Again , for the 'N'th time!! We need! an emulation category!! There's *WAY WAY* more people using emulators like VPC or VM ware than Win31 or BeOS users..and yet those forums exist... Anyone at Computing.net listening?

I only have XP Home, need XP Pro for Virtual PC :(

:-) Got it up & running, thanks for your help. CD & video drivers are set up, just having problems setting up sound.
