Installing Windows Version 3.11 Software
d) Using the Up Arrow (↑ ), highlight MS-DOS System and
press Enter.
e) Select MS-DOS System with APM from the list and press
Enter.
Verify that Computer has changed to MS-DOS System
with APM. If the item has not changed, return to step d.
2.
Make sure the Display choice is set to VGA. (Do not change
this choice.)
Note:
When Windows Version 3.11 is
installed, the computer is
automatically configured to use the
MOUSE.COM driver provided by
Windows Version 3.11. However, for
correct operation, your computer
must use the MOUSE.COM driver
that came with DOS.
3.
When you have completed the installation of Windows, edit the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that the computer will use the correct
mouse driver:
a) At the DOS command prompt (usually C:\>), type
E \AUTOEXEC.BAT and press Enter.
b) Find the line: C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.COM /Y
c) Change it to: C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM /Y
d) Find the line that includes SHARE.EXE and delete that line.
e) Save the file and restart the computer.
4.
After installing Windows, you should check the creation date of
the following drivers in the DOS subdirectory and the Windows
subdirectory:
EMM386.EXE (loaded by CONFIG.SYS).
HIMEM.SYS (loaded by CONFIG.SYS).
SMARTDRV.EXE (loaded by AUTOEXEC.BAT).
380D
MSCDEX.EXE (loaded by AUTOEXEC.BAT).
Then use the newest program between the one for DOS and the
one for Windows for each drivers.
You can easily use the newer one by changing the subdirectory
name in the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE
↓
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
When you start Windows from the DOS prompt, do not close the
LCD while the program is loading; if you do, the computer will stop
running.
