Hi all,
Just found this great forum. I have been programming since 1976 and finally kicking and screaming I was dragged into the IBM-PC world in 1982.
I have a large flatbed plotter that has a specific win3.1 driver and I currently am running win3.1 under DOS 6.22 on a 486. Man it is slow. OK, so I tried to install w3.1 on an Intel Atom board and win3.1 went nuts with the video etc.
I thought I would then install W2K-Pro and then VirtualPC 2004 on that and finally put DOS and w3.1 within VPC. The DOS loaded and works well.
When I try to install win3.1, I get to the end of the second install disk where it launches into win3.1 Setup and asks for a Name and Company. At this point it hangs with no mouse and no flashing cursor.
I thought it might be the mouse or keyboard so I dragged out an old PC that had W2K-Pro on it and same again. Not to be deterred, I did the same with an XP-Pro and same again. All 3 machines same spot, same issues.
Can anyone shed some light here, please??????
Thanks in advance.
Dave
