Hi people, I found this site a few days back and posed questions about installing win3.1. Thanks to all the help I got I was able to track down a very simple solution. DosBox is a GNU license DOS emulator. I installed it. I created a folder in the root \win31 In that folder I created a folder disk1 I then copied all my 3.1 diskettes into c:\win31\disk1 I ran DosBox and it starts up at drive Z: I created a setup.bat file with the following in it mount c c:\win31 mount a c:\win31\disk1 path=c:\;c:\windows c:\windows\win The last command will fail this first time as that Windows folder does not yet exist. I ran that within DosBox then A: Then Setup This did the full 3.1 install. At then end of the install instead of clicking "Reboot" I clicked "Go to DOS" then exited DosBox. I restarted DosBox and bingo up comes 3.1 and everything works. Thanks to all who helped. Dave Dave

Good for you! I used to use DOSBox, good program, eh? Too bad Windows 3.1 doesn't include drivers for the video card it emulates, so you don't get more than 640x480 @ 16 colors. Compaq Presario 5365 AMD K6-2 450 Mhz 256 MB RAM Windows 98 SE
