Hey,I have problems with my Win 3.1 version,to be specific, with my config.sys file, I need a copy of the windows 3.1 boot disk to solve it or at least the command lines of config.sys of win 3.1. Could someone help me out on getting those things? Thanks.

what is your DOS version, windows 3.1 has no actuall boot disk. when you found your dos version, then goto www.bootdisk.com for the boot disks.

Maybe it's Microsoft's fault in naming their new operating system Windows after the original Windows, which was a DOS program. In the last few days I've seen and answered about 5 requests for a Win 3.1 boot disk. There isn't one - there never has been one. Follow Tony's advice and get a DOS boot disk if you don't already have one.
