I bought the upgrade and I'm having trouble installing it. I cleared out 3mb of disk space and shut down all my TSRs and I have more than 512K memory free. I put in Disk 1 and typed a:setup and after it accessed the floppy and hard drive three or four times, it just sits there and stares at me. I had a friend make me a bootable disk and my system is happy to run 5.0 for me, but that's as close as I can get. I've got Phoenix BIOS (I think it's Ver 2.13 [I got it on a Leading Edge Model D in 1986]). Any ideas? (BTW, I just remembered that I have three device drivers running, CLKDRV.SYS (it handles my date/time), ANSI.SYS, and VDISK.SYS. Would they mess things up?)

There are numerous reports from the Windows installation world of problems caused by video boards which confuse the automatic configuration features of the setup program. You might want to make a note of what brand and model card you've got and then call Microsoft. I've never seen installations fail in this manner but your problem sounds similar to what I've heard from Microsoft. Joe Morris
