Hey, y'all, I'm new to Vogons and I need your help.

I successfully installed network adapter for my Windows 3.11 Workgroup once after that, I went to WinWorld PC to download a SVGA generic driver floppy disk for a 256 driver, but it asks me to restart the computer and I get this cursed display

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I use PCem to run old Windows and here are the specs
CPU: Intel Pentium OverDrive MMX 200
Display: S3 VIRGIE DX (the speed is fast VLB/PCI)
Memory: 128 MB

If you run setup from dos it should bring up the windows setup program that will allow you to change back to the default display driver.
I've only used real hardware but here is a link to the non generic S3 Virge driver.

Alternatively I typically use the standard 1024x768 driver that comes in windows itself

Okay, I returned to MS-DOS and have my CD driver installed on. I also made the folder you sent me a link into an ISO image, however, when I go to D:\ and type cd gailio, I enter setup.exe, and unfortunately, it requires to run Microsoft Windows and I don't know why it needs, but the question is, how do I exactly change back to default display driver before installing the driver you sent me?

we don't want to run setup from the download, we want to run windows setup.
so if you go cd c:\windows and type setup it should bring up the blue windows setup screen where you can change back to the default driver.

The Driver in the link is for after your able to load windows again
