I have a old (386 )(Black and White) labtop with 16 megs of ram... For some reson windows 3.11 is running funky, so I was thinking of upgrading to windows 95 do you think I should or try to repair 3.11 (yes it has a mouse)
I would stay with Windows 3.1. I would also recommend getting Windows for Work Groups 3.11 if you want to try networking. Windows 95 would not be the best choice, though it could work if you know how to do it right. I don't, so don't ask me. Do you know the complete computer specs for your laptop? This could ultimately help us to help you.
Windows for WorkGroups is on many private ftps. I have it if you want it, but I'll need a server to upload it to. PM me.
The laptop is a Jetbook, and only has a flopy drive and I attached a zip drive externally to it... It does not have modem though... Windows 3.11 started booting VERY slowly and then I could not even access the control pannel! It took minutes to open windows and a long time to do anything else... It was horible!!! This never happened before... I might try installing windows 3 again and see what hapens...

That's an old funky obsolete machine and maybe it should run
funky. I hope it's not about to die. Windows 95 will certainly not
fix it.
No modem = no reason for WFWG. You can try to reinstall 3.1 and
it may run better, I don't know.

Before you upgrade, make sure yuo get a copy of your graphics driver because WFWG 3.11 doesn't include a monochrome driver.
I highly recommend against that. Most of the builds I've tried were very incomplete, and remember, this is Windows 95 Original (With all the bugs) + the beta bugs that got fixed prior to release.
But chicago can't run anything, using betas as a primary os is foolish. I would keep 3.11 on that computer and fix it, a quick re-install would fix everything.

I bet it's greyscale which is just like normal VGA or EGA. Just shades of grey instead of shades of colors.

But that's if you run 95.
For that notebook, try WFWG
