Has anyone had any success in installing the Sony Laser Library for use under Windows 3.1? The documentation for the Laser Library says that if your "system has Windows 3.0 installed,the installation program will automatically create the Laser Library program group." Well,with Windows 3.1 this doesn't happen. I'm also running Stacker but haven't had problems with installation of anything else. If you have been successful in this installation,please let me know how to get it to fly.

Craig – If you find out please let me know. I have the same problem. Have you tried in the Sony forum? (Is there a Sony forum?) RK

Robert, After much heartbreak and no help from Sony here 'is what I finally had to do. First,I deleted all the Windows software off my hard disk. Then I reloaded Windows 3.0. I then reinstalled the Sony Laser Library which successfully installed the program group and icons. I then reloaded Windows with Multimedia extensions and then reloaded Windows 3.1. The installation retained my original program group for the Laser Library under Windows 3.0. It's alot of time and trouble but it was the only way I got it to work.

Robert, I bought the Win3.1 upgrade, installed it, and found that my LaserLibrary files were still present. I've tried running them, no problems yet.
