I have Windows 3.1 working on a Pentium 3 running freedos 1.1. I think I'm using Jemmex for the memory manager and I believe I'm running it in 386 enhanced mode. That said, I get a memory manager crash when I exit Windows 3.1 and I notice that Loderunner for whatever reason crashes before I reach the first level with bombs. Too bad I can't get sound in Windows 3.1. I have a Soundblaster 16, but it's the PCI version that only comes with an expanded memory dos driver, a Windows 9x driver, and XP drivers. I wish there was a 100% compatible replacement for Windows 3.1 that is free. There is a lot of software that requires Windows 3.1. ReactOS is an attempt to clone Windows NT and support Windows software designed for at least Windows XP. Developers are trying to crank out a 0.4 release, the last release was 0.3.15 back in September. See http://www.reactos.org. I wonder if someone could debug what is causing Windows 3.1 running on freedos to crash and develop workarounds? In other news, ReactOS is gaining an emulated dos environment of it's own. Very recent development, so don't expect the environment to be stable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
