Hello,
Having huge issues with Windows 3.1
I did a fresh install of DOS 6.22 on the following rig
-486 DX2/80 CPU (40 MHz bus)
-UM4980 VLB motherboard, 256k cache
-20 Mb RAM (1x16Mb, 1x4Mb 72 pin SIMMS)
-VLB video (Trident 94xx series, IIRC) 1 Mb RAM, integrated I/O
-CT 4170 soundblaster card
-Quantum 1.2 Gb IDE hard disk
-16x BTC CDROM IDE
-1.44 Mb floppy
DOS 6.22 works great. No issues. Installed with Official Disks. Doom/ROTT/Jazz/Descent..all working fine
Installed Win 3.1 with no issues with official disks. No issues with Install
On the surface, 3.1 works fine. All default programs run OK, no issues, no glitches.
When first loading Win from DOS though, it takes a LONG TIME (about 5 mins?)
Then If I try to install any program from CD, or Hard Drive (i've tried installing various MidiSoft Programs, AOL 2.0, Microsoft Office 3.0, various Win 3.1 games from 94) I run into various issues.
No enough Memory,
Segment Load Failure
General Crash of any program that isn't Paint/Clock/Minesweeper/Solitaire etc
Insufficent Memory
Etc
Not sure what is going on
