First post, by Jens
Hello everybody!
I'm running Win 1.0c from 1986. When starting, the screen is full of random ASCII symbols (is that normal?). After 10 (or so) sec. the Microsoft-logo scrolls in, the file-manager starts and shows content of c:\
So far so good. Then Win crashes when selecting a menue item, when trying to start a program (like clock.exe), sometimes the hourglass appears, before it crashes, sometimes it crashes just so. Crash means, that it kills Dosbox, too = needs strg+alt+del.
It makes no difference if i set up win 1.0 with a cga, ega or hercules display, if i install mouse.drv or not.
My conf-settings are minimal = everything sophisticated, like sound, ems, umb switched off.
Autoexec settings are (somewhere i've read to do this, is the syntax correct?)
ver set 4
cd windows
ver set win100.bin 3.34
win.com
is the first ver for DOS-version? Do two ver in a row work?
Sometimes, before crashing, a box pops up "Not enaugh memory to run this program". So i think it's rather the memory management than the display emulation that causes the error. (By the way, Win 2.0 from 1987 and my super-duper-collection of even older DOS-programs run - more or less - stable.)
Thats all... Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
