This PC was running OpenLook and we also installed Simultask on it. Unfortunately, we could not find a way to install Windows 386 while running under Simultask. It seems that Simultask uses the virtual 386 mode. Windows 386 checks the type of CPU it is running under, and doesn't recognize the 386. The error message we got was that it needed a 386 CPU. We did not try to install other versions of Windows. You might try Windows for PC XT (Windows 2.11). bye -------------------------------------------------------- David Gonzalez lestat@ctt.bellcore.com Bellcore Architecture Technology District RRC 1M207S 444 Hoes Lane Piscatway, NJ 08854 VOICE (201) 699-6387 Internet, E-Mail: lestat@ctt.bellcore.com ---------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Bellcore is not responsible for anything I say, write or think if they can be sued.
