#3DS R4 & WIN95
2 messages in this thread
I've just installed Win95 and have two questions:
1) I can run 3ds without rebooting in dos mode but my display drivers appear to
be messed up, I can see all my menus but the screen is predominantly black and
new dialog boxes appear but are transparent. 3ds seems to function normally but
is unusable because of the display.
2) Alternately I can run 3ds from dos mode and it runs OK except that I'm not
on my network, and can't seem to get on the network from dos mode. I'm using
the win95 network software. I can't seem to go back to my Novell netware
either.
I've read a message in the library from someone who got everything running but
had to do a custom installation of win95 using the Novell netware. Of course I
read this AFTER the one hour install.
Any suggestions? Do I have any options other than reinstalling windows, that
seems so cliched!

Kenneth,
WIN95 is an untested and unsupported environment. However, several people have
reported getting 3DS to work under it.
As far as Vibrant, in WIN95, I have no idea whether the Vibrant drivers would
work. You might try the VGA or VESA selections. In a true DOS mode, the Vibrant
drivers work fine. I have no idea why you would not be able to see your network
drives.
If others have set this up, they might log in and tell you their experiences.
