That’s right, I forgot SP2 kills progman.exe by design (why is a mystery), it was
discussed awhile back
Works 3 runs on XP SP0, but I'm not sure if SP2 kills it as well
I've 3.11, MS-DOS, 98SE, 2000, XP, server 2K3 and Linux running under VPC, it makes
for a good test lab
And it is fun to play with the older OSs, and to try finding all those settings that
have moved over the different versions
BTW have you gotten 3.11 to see the sound card? Or get MS-DOS to run TCP/IP?
I've got the NIC and the vid card (killed several installs finding the right vid
card), if you need either just ask
but have yet to get the sound card working, and the TCP/IP drivers I've found work
only under windows
