I could reproduce this on Win3.1 and 95 (didn't bother to try 98). That installer simply doesn't seem to handle more than 32MB RAM. You exceed that, it starts seeing negative values. So, remove some of it. Or just run the other exe on the disc - afaict you don't need to go through the setup... edit …

Looks like many in one pair of computers might confused the software. Have you tried a dedicated windows 98SE computer with 256MB or 512MB? Preferably with geforce2 MX400 or GTS. Cheers, Not sure what you mean by "dedicated win98se computer". I don't have the various Operating Systems on the same …

I keep getting the same error about my system having -64kB RAM. I've tried multiple machines. Each machine I've tried in Win 3.11, Win95, and Win98. Same error. Anyone familiar with this?

Is there a goto Network card for Win 3.11? Every card I have doesn't have Win 3.x drivers. Is there a cheap alternative on ebay perhaps? Or maybe a specific model with great compatibility with Win3.x? Thanks!

I'm currently having trouble with this software. I am using a ASUS P5A Rev. 1.04 (ALi Aladdin V) with Pentium MMX 233 (SL27J). Any commands I put in doesn't change the detected CPU speed. I tried Phil's batch files and still nothing. I have also disabled cache in the BIOS and that didn't lead to any …

May I suggest going to YouTube and watching "The Computer Chronicles" in chronological order. That will put you in the perspective. 😀

X-Wing Alliance came out in 1999. I base my WIN98 builds around that one game. Can the GPU display the text correctly in cockpit? I believe GeForce FX and above have text problems.

As much as I would love to use this, but I'm 2 years shy of 40. I don't have friends who use Chat Clients anymore. 🙁 It sucked being the computer geek out of the jocks. Even though I was a jock as well. 🤣 But this app brings back lots of memories!
