A few years ago I remember reading that if your computer has over a certain amount of memory, then sometimes you have to add a couple of lines to system.ini, I think it is, for Windows 3.1 or WFWG 3.11 or else Windows won't load. Unfortunately, when I look for it now, I can't find anything on the subject. I can't remember specifically, but it has some thing to do with stacks or cache or.... Anyway, I hope somebody knows what I'm talking about. Thanks.

Add the following to the [386Enh] section of the System.ini: PageOverCommit=1 That should fix your problem. HTH.

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Didn't seem to work. Funny thing is, I can start win 3.1 from the DOSBox program in Windows XP, but booting up into DOS and trying to run windows just gets me the Windows start up screen. I tried Win/b, but Windows stays locked up too. And the bootlog doesn't help much. Oh well, I'll play around with it some more.

Ah, I found what I was looking for, in another post "You have to alter the the Vcache= line under [ENH386] in the Config.sys if you use memory over 512 MB."

Wow that applies to Win3.X as well. Glad I know now, however my Dos machine only has 96meg of SDRAM so i doubt i'll get that problem :P.
