[comp.windows.ms] Trouble Installing WIN3.0, Is Hercules Graphics Comp. OK?

brr@abcom.ATT.COM (Rao) (05/01/91)

This might be a FAQ, so please email responses to me.

Does Win 3.0 run on Monochrome Monitors with Hercules Graphics
Compatible Monochrome Card? My WIN2.1 does not have
any trouble running thru the"SETUP".

However, while "SETUP" on the WIN3.0, I get all the
text and messages on screen, but the Default Prompts
ARE NOT DISPLAYED!!

I cannot install it as I don't know what the Default Prompts
that should be displayed are. I just get the Reverse Video
turned on, but the text does not appear in the boxes.

Please help solve this.

On another problem, since I have 4Meg RAM, all extended, as
I don't have any expanded memory board installed,
what should my CONFIG.SYS look like, if I have to
use windows? 
Should I specify HIMEM.SYS as well
as EMM386.SYS (that comes with DOS4.01)? What about
SMARTDRV.SYS that comes with WIN3.0?

After Installing the WIN2.11, I can only use the WIN86.EXE
but the WIN386.EXE just bombs, and I don't even get the 
logo.

-Thanks in advance for any help.
