I am having compatibility problems with DR-DOS 6.0 and Windows 3.1, and I hope another DR-DOS user out there could help me. I have DR-DOS 6.0 (the upgraded version) installed in my 486-33 with a SuperStor compressed hard disk partition. When I tried to install Windows 3.1 on the uncompressed partition, the install program threw me out at the end of the second diskette, with the following message: Standard Mode: Fault in MS-DOS Extender. EC=0000 CS=005B IP=0975 AX=0000 BX=0008 CX=0404 DX=005A SI=3D59 DI=0930 BP=0882 DS=02E7 ES=02DF SS=027F SP=01F2 I stripped my config.sys and autoexec.bat to bare minimum, removing all TSR:s, etc. so that there really shouldn't have been problems there. When I bypassed the install program by simply copying the Windows files from another computer, it worked fine, except that when I tried to force Windows into standard mode using the /2 option, I was thrown out again with the above message. So, the problem seems to be getting Windows 3.1 to work in standard mode, so that the install program would not abort. I tried to select compatibility with Windows in standard mode from the DR-DOS Setup program but had no success. If somebody else has had similar problems, please tell me how you solved them. Thanks, Jaakko
