Your win3.11 looks remarkable like windows 95.

Do you have the latest Matrox drivers installed? Try a little older version of the driver.

This might give some hints:

Thank's i have Calmira II installed and it looks great but it's still work in progress, i'm customizing what i can to looks even greater.
I'll see what i can get, i have the original Matrox CD, i'll check it out and see what version i have,
I solved IE5 issue by decreasing the amount of memory, now i can install it without a problem

I already check that thread, i have 4mb of video memory so it doesn't apply to me

Browsing the web with 3.11 sucks big time 😵

Did you install a printer? I dimly remember something about fonts and needing to install a printer 😉

That makes sense, no, i don't have a printer installed but i will surely try that

Ok, just solved it by installing the true type fonts, here's how i did it.

Main - Control Panel - Fonts - Add - Choose the following path c:\windows\system - Select all - OK

Restart windows and that it, true type fonts installed and Sim Tower working 😊

That's great that you got it working. Good to know how to get it working if I run into the same issue.

I wonder if installing calmira ii messed up your fonts in the first place?

That's a good guess, since it changes the whole appearence. Seeing that "Gerenciador de Programas" really brought me back at the time. Win 3.x was so much fun, specially with programs like Afterdark and Icon HearIt/DoIt.

Don't know if it did, maybe yes because, like i said, i already played this one without any trouble.
I didn't have to install no printer, i just installed the true type fonts available in the system drawer under windows directory and that's it. Very simple.

I always loved MS-Dos and Win 3.11, back then my windows was full customized and i intend to do the same on this one.

Yoot Tower is the original version (Segasoft), I wonder if that was more compatible.

i had the same thing...
for some reason windows 3.1 doesn't install the fonts
and you have to do it yourself...
and sim tower needs them...
