No, it's like the picture is messed up. As you know, i'm using VGA in VMware Player, but VGA is fully compatible with EGA (which Windows Alpha has, that's how I successfully ran Windows Alpha on VMware Player, on MS-DOS 5), I mean, it is compatible with CGA, not so much. I get this picture:
I have never tried to run DR5 on VMware Player but I suspect there is something wrong with the driver. However, it seems to be a problem cause by VMware's imperfect VGA emulation since jb881122's patched driver works on all other emulators and hypervisors. I suggest you replace both the display and cursor routine with patched ones (if not done already). It also looks like your Windows installations are a bit messy so reinstalling from scratch could help. If it still doesn't work, install this in 86Box or PCem.
I installed Windows 1.0 DR5 on VMware with ms-dos 2.11, but when I try to open Windows 1.00 DR5, it says "Boot : Unable to load mouse" and doesn't open. How can I open it? 😖
If I edit Windows 1.00 DR5's MOUSE.EXE to Windows 1.00 Premiere's, I only get that message. But if I don't edit Windows 1.00 DR5's MOUSE.EXE, I get this message too : "Boot : Can't load MOUSE.EXE"
@vio08 VMware only support PS/2 mouse which DR5 does not support. Download jb881122's patch here and run a DOS PS/2 mouse driver before starting Windows. There is absolute no way you can get a Windows 2.x PS/2 mouse driver to work on DR5 since the NE format is totally different.
If you dont want to type ctmouse everytime on startup then: Go to the root of the c drive. Type "edlin autoexec.bat". Press Enter. Type i1. Then type "echo off". Press ENTER. Type "path C:\;C:\WINDOWS\TEST;C:\WINDOWS\BIN". Press Enter. Type "ctmouse >nul". Press CTRL + C (two times). Then type "e". Press Enter. Also, you don't need to type kernel when you go do this modification. You can go to the test folder by a shortcut using "cd \windows\test". Type "mswin". It should start Windows.
I thought about porting an actual Windows PS/2 mouse driver to Windows 1.0 Alpha Release and DR5 but I gave up. I recompiled the PS/2 mouse driver for Alpha Release and it decided to not load MS-DOS Executive (I got it to work once but too unstable). DR5 on the other hand simply refuses to boot with my ported driver (some ordinals messed up or something).
I have attached the DR5 port in case anyone would like to have a go at it.
I installed Windows 1.00 DR5 with MS-DOS 2.11 Toshiba. 1. I put "CTMOUSE.EXE" in the MS-DOS Disk. 2. I changed the "MOUSE.EXE" that is in the Windows Disk. 3. I put the EGA Graphic files in the Windows Disk.
@vio08 I think you can do this with Windows Alpha, but you don't have to copy a MOUSE.EXE, you only need to run CuteMouse driver. You can do a bare install of it. When it gets to the graphics selection, pick EGA. This also works in Toshiba dos.
Also could you send me a video of you installing it?
@vio08 (windows alpha) You can run DOS applications if you include the Test folder in Windows Alpha. For example: Boot into DOS. Type "path C:\WINDOWS\TEST". Run windows and go to the root and you should be able to run a DOS application in a window.

@MCSInside If you're using VMware and having problems, you can see my video! :
I used MS-DOS 2.11 Toshiba OEM, Windows 1.00 Developer Release 5, EGAHIBW.CIN, EGAHIBW.DIN, CTMOUSE.EXE, and edited MOUSE.EXE! The file is here : https://blog.naver.com/vio08/222110135780, and it works!!!

More memories... someone gave me the disks for this back in the day.. I remember running it and thinking...'yes but whats the use. I still can only run one DOS box.'. Multitasking did eventuate... I think it was DR DOS (driven by Int 8 calls haha).
I Just found a pdf file that can recreate Windows Development release 4 if somebody just recreates the disks by using this document, DR4 is possible. it may not work like the ACTUAL dr4 but it may be a close recreation.: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QLqbhKoHxLAKAsZHCdrjb7-UBv_ag50e/view

If you mean low resolution (if it looks like the image I posted in May), there are some drivers in this BetaArchive thread.

Also make sure you get a EGA/VGA patch as VMware does not support CGA fully.
You can get it here: https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=41278
And I'll work on a patch so you can run the batch file which copies all the drivers for VMware on DR 5...
My Windows 1.00 DR5 Video
But do I have to install Cutemouse every time I turn on ms-dos?
And if I want to open Windows, do I have to write "kernel"?
Go to the root of the c drive. Type "edlin autoexec.bat". Press Enter. Type i1. Then type "echo off". Press ENTER. Type "path C:\;C:\WINDOWS\TEST;C:\WINDOWS\BIN". Press Enter. Type "ctmouse >nul". Press CTRL + C (two times). Then type "e". Press Enter.
