[Reply to message #187774, which is no longer available] Mitch, I just saw your forum message asking about running 3DS4 under Win95. I've been doing so for a couple months now. In my experience, you cannot run 3DS in Windows mode, but Win95 offers a handy new feature which is very convenient. Set up a shortcut to run 3DS4. Under properties, select advanced and choose the option for an automatic reboot in MS-DOS mode. You can even boot up using a special CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT setup which you can customize for your 3DS environment (special video drivers, etc.). You can further configure this so that your computer automatically reboots in Win95 mode upon exit. During 3DS sessions where you'd like to make a quick foray into DOS without the automatic reboot to Win95, you can use 3DS's shell to DOS command and then type EXIT when you're ready to return to 3DS. It's worked beautifully for me. Hope it's potentially helpful to you… Best wishes, Lee
