Chicago Build 58

edited November 2004 in Software
I am trying to install Chicago Build 58.

It is missing some font files, but I don't think that is important.

When Chicago Begins booting up, it crashes.

Any ideas?


PS I'm installing this in VMware on a p4 cpu computer.

  • CPU incompaitibilies maybe?
  • Nah, I've seen some dumbfucker take an Athlon 1.8GHz and stick Windows 3.11 on it, It should work.

    Did you install DOS? I'd boot from a DOS floppy, format it clean then Install Chicago.

    Okay. I tried that. It still didn't work.
  • Wierd....

    It crashed on me once but that was b ecuase I had 98 DOS on it and it didnt like it. I just formatted it, leaving it unbootable then installed Chicago.
  • I've given up on Chicago 58 for now.


    Right now I'm trying to install Chicago 189. Does anyone have the beta site id and password for it?
  • It's on lots of crack sites...andr.net crackspider.net search engine, keygen.us.

    I've had this before. Boot into DOS and type "LOCK C:" or "UNLOCK C:"...worked for me.
  • Well, I really dunno, I had no missing files... But I've installed it to i386DX... never tried in VPC...
  • try VMWare, if that don't work, then i dont know what to say.


    Try to re-download the file, it could be corrupted?
  • If you got missing files it won't let you install.

    I had a fucked up copy once, it verifys files and if it finds a corrupt CAB files itll stop.
  • Is there even any real purpose for using any version of chicago? I don't remember but does it actually run any programs correctly?
  • Errr...don't know.

    I belieave newer builds like 490 are like 90% identical to 95 Final and run 95 apps.
  • OK if you get the error about CAB.EXE or CAB32.EXE (I don't remember which) then I got that too and there's not much you can do.

    As to the Beta ID and site ID, that should be in the RAR.

  • Try to install all old OSes on non-686 CPU... P1 and earlier...

    Where did you get your copy?

    I got 2, 1 off k-semler and one off TCPMeta. I only tested k-semlers which is fucked.

    I got it off that one site in the downloads section,
  • Jack, did you try the advice I gave you...

    "LOCK C:" or "UNLOCK C:" ?
  • If it's an error on startup about an EXE file with "CAB" in its name then I get that too and think that it's just too early a beta to work.

    -Q
  • I got into setup, entered in my serial/ID, then when halfway copying files it gave me an error or corrupt file. I could try remaking the CAB with a 95 file... Hmm......
  • Hello all ,my first post . First of all the cab32.exe error iv'e only seen in
    build 73 because it installs with 30 files & buffers, which needs to be 90, I
    have a fixed 73 which installs with 90 of each & boots first go , secondly
    all builds of 58s iv'e seen around have 5 missing files & give an error
    about being unable to load network.drv , which is because the system.ini
    needs a network driver listed in it. I also have a fully fixed copy of 58s which took me 4 days to fix , well - 4 days to find the missing files & fix.
    If someone has a server id be happy to up it.
  • Wait till Fish gets here and sees this, or someone else offers a FTP that you can upload too.

    -Q
  • All 58s and 73s worked fine for me...
  • Hello! I can't find Chicago 58 nowhere (nor any other)! Can somebody please give it to me? Maybe someone knows a link or you can send it to me by Messenger (sebastianfabian@hotmail.com).

    Thanx!
