[SOLVED] Windows 3.1 inside OS/2 won't start

Revision 8.182, do I need a patch?

Neither work.

Martin Iturbide:
Hi

If I recall correctly you can apply fixpack 40 (Release 8.264). But I'm not sure if it will solve your Win-OS2 issues.

Do you remember how to install fixpacks? I usually download the fixpack from here (English), diunpack every file, run CS_144.EXE in the same folder and run Fix.cmd to install it.

Please backup your files before installing the fixpack.

Regards

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I am new to OS/2, I just got a copy last week. \

Some of those links don't work but I am sure I can find what I need somewhere online.

jamie marchant:
It looks like installing FixPackes is not an easy task(some people say you have to be careful about which one you install), I think I'll skip that unless I know for sure that would solve the issue. I do have "dual-boot" installed so I can get back to MS-DOS 6 to run Windows 3.1 if I want too.

Dave Yeo:
It's been a long time, but my wild guess would be video driver related. Back then you had to install a Windows video driver as well as an OS/2 one IIRC. Now we use the GRADD drivers that were developed for the PPC version of OS/2 and it is one driver for both OS/2 and Winos2.
