Has anyone been able to run Windows 95 on a 386?
I thought I had at one time, but now Im not so sure...
I attempted to install onto my recently-acquired-and-decked-out GRID 1755 (386sx/20+387, 1.3gb HD, 8mb) laptop.
It SEEMED to do a clean install, but subsequent boots came up to the splash-screen then shortly cleared the screen and asked for a 3-finger salute...
Starting in safe mode provided the same result.
Im willing to concede that the GRID may be too old/slow/strange to run 95, but it would be 'kinda neat' even tho it would be a slug...
I cannot remember what my first 95 machine had, but it may have been a 486sx/33...
It would possibly do it if I could find a 486sx to put in it... if a 486sx can directly replace a 386sx... That may be another thread...:roll: :mrgreen:
