Hello i am have reinstalled win3.0
on to my machine and am trying to
in stall my apps most went ok
except for piblisher 2 and photoshop
3 they say i need a newer version
of windows but they worked ok before.
i downloaded win32s to see if that would
help but that said the same thing so i
was wondering if i installed 3.11 over 3.0
would that work or is it even possible.
I have installed over later versions of win
with a few problems but never needed to with
3.0 as it worked perfectly for about 10 years.

Well, I don't know for sure, but I would suspect a clean installation would be best, to avoid any incompatibilities. Really, Win3.0 cannot compare in functionality to Win3.1 or WfW3.11 - while it may be interesting to run, you would be better off with one of the later versions.

kebabs - we're patiently waiting to hear if the suggestions offered helped you to resolve your path issues, over in the DOS forum

Yeah, I would have to say that jboy is right.
Win 3.1 really smokes Win 3.0 in performance and hardware support. It also adds multimedia features.
