  • ZenithusZenithus
    Office 97 doesn't work on my NT 3.51 machine, but it might be cos i have NewShell2 installed...
  • BODBOD

  • ZenithusZenithus

  • BODBOD

  • stitchstitch
    you must have sp3 or higher for office 97 to work i think.

    I have Windows 3.11 (non-workgroups) in case you still need a copy.

    Also, have you tried running NT 3.10? That would be better (in some ways)
  • SlashSlash
    NT.3.10 is better in NO WAY. It's awful! It cannot run 32bit apps...
    Almost any not very modern 32bit app runs in 3.51 but nothing in 3.1

    Yeah, NT 3.1 would probably reduce the funtionality of the laptop. For instance... NT 3.1 and cd-rom drives weren't a great mix (unless they were SCSI).

    and u wouldnt have very good (if at all) power management

    Yeah, Win3.1 is alot faster and sleeker. You might loose some stabiliy, but I doubt you'll even notice it.

    Plus, Win3.1 has Win32 addin. From what I heard, it cannot be installed into NT 3.1.

    Hmmm I'll hav to think about it, might try multi-booting NT 3.51 and Win 3.1, its got a 2GB hard drive lol Just wanted a PC to test out 16-bit apps on an older kernel

    There's no point, seeing as Win32s implement part of NT's API.

    I ran 95A on my old Packard Bell Laptop. It was a 486 50Mhz, 12MB RAM, 200MB HD and it ran pretty good. The only thing is that didnt work out for me was the Video Driver and 256 colors...
  • JackTheStripperJackTheStripper
    That's becuase it probably doesn't even _support_ anything over 256 colors.
