Can't run Win32s 1.25

Post by vlad557776 »

Hello.

Recently I wanted to install a copy of Claris Impact 2.0, but I need Win32s to do it. They installed, but, when I try to run FreeCell (the sample application), it gives me "Unexpected DOS error: 21". I tried everything I could find on the net - the only thing I accomplihed was remove that annoying MS Office toolbar (not linked to my Win32s problem). I'm using Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and DOS 7.1. The only thing I couldn't make to work (which can fix my problem) was create a permament swapfile (Damn you, DOS 7.1).

Please help!

I'm using VirtualBox 6.0.10 r132072. Going to install DOS 6.22, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and these Win32s and write back.

Try using an older/newer Win32s version. Or just use Windows 95.

OP wants to use Windows 3.1, so let him.

You are using an unoptimized emulator for pre-9x.
Use 86Box/PCem/VARCem.

It's not even an emulator, so it wouldn't surprise me if this is actually just another CPU issue. I think Win32s 1.30 or whatever the last version was also didn't work in Virtual PC for this reason.

I think just like you, Overdoze (Damn you CPU and ACPI). Also, will Windows NT 3.1 Advanced Server work?
