Hi people, as you might have know that there is a issue I am having with DOSbox SVN running Windows 95 as said on the DOSbox status windows as you see on the picture as I can tell it must be the S3 emulation.

This might be of what is holding me back to getting Windows 95 to be working so I can play games from my physical copies I still have on the new model the Ykhwong made with DOSbox X patch and with the problems on there I get alot errors when trying to install Internet explorer 5.5, other programs, and the games that use the Voodoo emulation is glitchy too when I try to test the Voodoo card out on dxdiag it gives me a gridded line on the spinning cube and it gets all of these IDK when it goes into acceleration mode, and when I put in a S3 trio video driver in it gives me a error when I start up Windows 95 again and tells me my video card is missing.

So tell me of what could I have been doing wrong and how I can fix this on the current SVN.

Thanks for looking at this topic

your problem is that you're using a dos game emulator to run Windows 95

DOSBox does not support Windows 95

Furthermore, note this bit on the ykhwong page:

For official DOSBox forum, click here. Do not report any bug to developers because these builds are experimental and NOT officially supported.

Well yeah I know but I want to make more like how I used it before like using a operating system like Winddows 3.1 works on DOSbox and Windows 95B too but it uses a image file and one problem if I played it on May 6 2013 I wanted to play a game called "Lenny's music toons" and if I played on my Windows 95 using Nero image buring rom 5 which uses USB supp it freezes at the start up screen, I know it's made for Windows 3.1 but Windows 95B as a DOS operating system much like Windows 3.1 it may use like a backwards compatibility component because I am running it on a FAT 32 Windows 95 hard disk. So is there a way to play it without freezing ? If you are using it on DOSbox SVN May 6 2013 ?

This is not a Dosbox problem. If you report a problem make sure it is with plain Dosbox SVN and grab the newest.
Also please shorten your sentences, worm like sentences are hard to understand.

Furthermore Dosbox only supports DOS GAMES, and happily Windows 3.x runs, too.
Windows 95 does not run reliably.

You may look at the Dosbox-x branch for a newer built that may help.

I'm closing this thread.
