[beta.a.brian]

More details please? Emulator? DOS version used?

PCem 12 running the IBM XT at 16 Mhz

Try emulating a 8088 at 4.77 MHz, which unlike the 16 MHz version, actually existed.

Also try using IBM PC-DOS 2.10, it may work a lot better.

16Mhz 8088s do not exist. Go with 4.77Mhz and MS-DOS 2.0 or 2.1. (not any OEM version, MS official)

Then why is it emulated if it doesn't exist?

This version of Windows (Microsoft Windows Premiere Edition) was designed more for the IBM PC/AT (Model 5170) than the original IBM PC (5150/5160), since it was released in mid-1985 (after the IBM PC/AT's release) and was even clearly shown running on an IBM PC/AT in the picture from Microsoft shown here:

Even the Developer Release #5 was released after the IBM PC/AT and mentions running on an AT in the installation program. For Windows Premiere Edition, I would instead suggest running it on an IBM PC/AT (either real or emulated) and an 80286 CPU at 6 MHz, along with an IBM EGA adapter and a 20 MB hard disk drive. That is the configuration that I always use for running Windows Premiere Edition, and I have never had any trouble with it at all, so I would suggest for people to try that. If the COMDEX 1983 release or another similar release ever becomes available here, then I would suggest an original IBM PC for that.
