A friend of mine has gone away for the weekend and I thought it would be funny to see his reaction when he comes back to find Windows 3.11 on his machine.
I haven't touched any of his original data as i'm not that mean. I have inserted a tiny thumb drive at the back of his machine and it boots to it by default without me having to edit the hard drive boot order in the CMOS.
MSDOS 6.22 installed no worries (this is where I got slightly distracted by Jill of the Jungle)
Windows 3.11 went all the way through setup without any apparrent issues but hangs on the splash screen whenever I attempt to start it. I took the stick out of his machine and put it into mine and the same thing happens.
His machine is a stock Athlon 64 3000+ with 1GB RAM. Mine is a Q6600@3.6 with 4GB RAM.
I have done a bit of googling and tried a couple of things but have come up with nothing so far. I thought perhaps there was a problem addressing the huge amount of RAM but that may not be the case as I installed everything exactly as I had done on the thumb drive in a VMWare virtual machine with 1.5GB RAM and it runs no worries.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
