Got 3.51 on top of VPC. Problem is, I install the 16-bit IE5 on it, but I get this error when I startup the browser after the reboot: PCTCPAPI.DLL Error PCTCPAPI083 4.10 PC/TCP Kernal and VxD not loaded. I'm not sure whether it's related to the Win3.1 dialer part which still tried to find a modem. I'll be going over LAN. Any ideas? Or maybe even another browser that will run well on it? Tried to get Firefox running, but no dice. :(

Mozilla 1.3.1 works but there are problems with the API, no menus are displayed. When you click a button on the menu bar it just shows a gray line where the pulldown menu is supposed to be. But other than that it works fine.

Yes, it's the dialer..installing IE5 witout deselecting the dialer will cause endless problems...you *must* completely de-install IE5 and reinstall it with a custom install, and select *just* the browser (sorry, that means no outlook express, too) You'll also have to do a registry restore, as IE5 puts the dialer in the registry but de-install doesn't remove it..the message you'll get is "pctcpapi and/or runonc16.exe is referenced in win.ini ..please remove it" or something like that..however, removing it from the win doesn't get rid of the message as it's also in the registry..i can't remember where, but you might want to check the win 31 strings to find it there, if you don't have a backup registry to do a restore. aaargh!!!! Some IE5 installs don't give you the option of a custom install either , just automatically installing the dialer without asking,so you would need to find one that does.I think that Tucows' version does have that option... And after all that it's still a 16bit app (although once you've got it working OK, IE 16bit runs much better on NT's win31 subsystem than it ever did in regular win31) Netscape 32bit runs really well on NT351 however, right up to version 4.8..so does OffByOne.. I'd strongly suggest you go with the 32bit browsers..although NT351's win16 subsystem is really pretty good, it still will bring down all the 16bit apps if one crashes..and since nt351 is a full multithreaded 32bit system , there's no real reason to use 16 bit unless you have to..
