Just tried under pure DOS - the same problems. So I suspect it is the os2k386 that is buggy at that point. >> least).

The harm is a waste of time only. And btw, this was not a shot in the dark. As both that windows (3.1 and wfwg) are using a standard mode during the install, replacing the dosx.exe was the most obvious thing it seems. >> Just look into "Help->About" in a Program Manager to find out. > To do that, one would need a working installation, which you have Not any more. I just tried the installation under a real DOS (to see about the "filesystem problems"), and, as I am half asleep after work, I ocasionally deleted it instead of the directory created during that test install. I still have the win3.11 distro somewhere in the streammer tape, but there were the whole lot of the old goodies, winword6 with a bunch of my (and other's) old documents, and many other not very important but still interesting things. Now as this all is finally gone, I suddenly lost any interest in running windows under dosemu. I still have the 3.1 installed for testing, but without the winword and everything this is not funny any more...
