I have Windows-95 "Final Beta" running on my 486/50 (16MB) machine. When Windows-95 is installed, a new version of DOS is also installed. I have 3DS R4 on this machine also. There are several ways to go to DOS. 1) At Boot up time, type f8, then select DOS to boot up. 3DS has run fine when the machine is boot to DOS. 2) If you are in Windows-95, you may select "Restart the Computer in MS-DOS mode". Again in this mode, 3DS runs fine for me. 3) Select the MS-DOS PROMPT from the Windows-95 menu. 3DS does NOT run this way, you get a Phar Lap err 74. error in this mode. In this mode, Windows is still running. I simply choose the first or second path to DOS and 3DS runs fine for me. RayMan- For those with RayMan, the same applies, but you must also type the SHARE command, because the Windows-95 installation will take execution of SHARE out of your autoexec.bat and you can't put it there. Also, SHARE.EXE no longer resides in the DOS directory, it resides in the \WINDOWS\COMMANDS directory along with other DOS commands which are moved. I hope this information is helpful. Jim Hawkins
