Ok, I had DOS / WFWG. ( With Multi-configs) I added NT 3.5 I held my breath, and loaded Windows 95 into it's own directory. I looked at the PATHs in my autoexec.bat. I saw that "Windows95" path was added to all the configs. My menuitems are… Windows Windows + CD Imagine 3.0 3D Studio DOS DOS + CD I took out the "Windows95" paths from all but the two windows menuitems. Everything works great. When I boot up, the NT dual boot system kicks in and asks me if I want NT or DOS. If I pick DOS, then my multiconfig pops up.(with Quarterdeck quickboot) If I pick one of the windows configs, Windows 95 starts. If I pick one of the other ones ( without Windows 95 in the PATH) Then I get a message that the system "can't find WIN.COM" and it goes to the dos prompt. ( DOS 6.22 not the new Win95 Dos) 3D Studio (and all the other DOS programs) work fine I can even change to my original Windows for Workgroups directory and start the "old" Windows This is exactly what I wanted. Windows 95 is cool as you know what ( NT is still the best,… by far) Thanks to all those who tried to help. I just had to put my mind to it (and cross my fingers ( and toes)) NT and Windows 95, on the same system can work perfectly. So can both of them and DOS and Windows 3.x ……… Just thought you all might want to know Bye David
