I had 95 on, then installed 3.1 on top. >It asked me if I wanted to upgrade to 3.1!!!! I said no, put it in >c:\win31, which it did. Now both work fine. I just boot to dos (a pause >at the end of autoexec.bat allows me to press break to get to dos) the >type cd win31.....win I did try installing 3.11 on top of '95 in the past and it simply installed over it, either I missed the the prompt regarding the upgrade option (entirely possible) or my system configuration is somewhat different. Either way I now have 3.11 working which means I can use the SPSS programme that would not work in '95. I think that in future any time i set up a computer i will simply install '95 in a different directory and save all the hassle.
