I just installed Windows 3.0 on my machine (Generic AT clone, 1 Meg of memory (640K standard, 384 extended), VGA (ATI VGA wonder 256), Logitech serial mouse). Installation went fine. Then I rebooted the machine and typed win. It hung. After some experimenting, I found that it works fine in real mode (started using win/R). It just won't work in standard mode. Two questions: 1. Any ideas as to what might be wrong? 2. What do I lose by running in real instead of standard mode? way Thanks for any help you can provide. Jim

It just won't work in standard mode. The manual suggests that if your machine hangs, try running WIN /I to ignore system hardwre check at startup. -Dave -- Dave Eisenberg SUNY at Stony Brook Computer Science deisenb@csserv2.ic.sunysb.edu -or- deisenbe@sbccvm.bitnet
