Where can I get the updated drivers that the Windows 3.11 update included (this is not Windows for Workgroups). My Windows 3.11 disks got hosed and I'm trying to find all of the files to replace them since I have Windows 3.1 disk set. I have the updated core files but need the updated drivers and other files on the list (below). Here is a file I found that talks about it:
Version: February, 1994
WIN311.TXT summarizes the changes in found in the Windows 3.11 Refresh. This
information will help you decide if you would benefit from this upgrade.Windows 3.11 is a file and driver refresh; it contains no new functionality.
It includes revised drivers and changes intended to fix specific problems
with six core files (see Updated Core Files, below). It also contains Novell
NetWare support files. If you do not need the new drivers or Novell files, or
if you are not experiencing the problems described below with the core files
listed, you do not need this refresh.Updated Drivers:
- 256 Color generic SVGA video driver, which supports TSENG ET4000 chipsets
and V7 but not ATI Ultra or S3 chipsets.
- EPSON9.DRV
- EPSON24.DRV
- FINSTALL.DLL
- FINSTALL.HLP
- HPLJIV driver
- HPDSKJET.DRV
- HPPCL.DRV
- HPPCL5E.DRV
- HPPCL5E.HLP
- HPPCL5E1.DLL
- HPPCL5E2.DLL
- HPPCL5E3.DLL
- HPPCL5E4.DLL
- HPPCL5EO.DLL
- HPPCL5MS.DRV
- L100_425.WPD
- L300_471.WPD
- L300_493.WPD
- L500_493.WPD
- L200230&.WPD
- L330_52&.WPD
- L630_52&.WPD
- PAINTJET.DRV
- PSCRIPT.DRV
- PSCRIPT.HLP
- V7VDD.386
- V7VGA.DRV
- UNIDRV.DLL
- UNIDRV.HLPUpdated Core Files:
- KRNL386.exe
- GDI.exe
- COMMDLG.DLL
- PSCRIPT.DRV
- UNIDRV.DLL
- VTDA.386KRNL386.EXE: Minimal changes were made to KRNL386.exe to allow Windows to
more gracefully shut down after installing some third-party software that
calls for Windows to shut down before returning focus to Program Manager.GDI.EXE: Changes were made to GDI.exe to assist independent software vendors
currently writing graphics applications, especially those that call the "draw
rectangle function." This minimizes the number of API calls the programmer
needs to write and maximizes the system resources available when using
graphics-intensive applications.COMMDLG.DLL: Changes were made to COMMDLG.DLL to allow Windows-based
applications on diskless workstations to use common dialog boxes.PSCRIPT.DRV and UNIDRV.DLL: These files were updated to eliminate a font
enumeration conflict that occurred with many word processors when 60 or more
fonts are used in a single document.VTDA.386: The updated VTDA.386 solves a very small percentage of
timer-related problems that occur when starting an MS-DOS based application
under Windows on a Novell NetWare network.Novell NetWare Changes:
- 1252_uni.001
- netware.drv
- nwcalls.dll
- nwipxspx.dll
- nwlocale.dll
- nwnet.dll
- nwpopup.exe
- nwpsrv.dll
- nwuser.exe
- taskid.com
- tbmi2.com (v 3.14)
- uni_1252.001
- uni_col.001
- uni_mon.001
- vipx.386
- vnetware.386

just get the files from jims website. winworldxp.cjb.net
or
go to briefcase.yahoo.com and log in as wvuser7, the ps is guests.
then go to briefcase.yahoo.com/wvybc1, if it isnt in there, replace the 1 with a 2, if it isnt there, replace the2 with a 3 and so on. tthere are even cdrom drivers, office, and some files from the windows file library. its sort of like a "plus pack", but its only drivers and files.
if you want to use win3.1 and jst add-in the updates, you canget them from www.powerload.fsnet.co.uk and go to tthe win 3x resource page.
