    Newshell is like Calmira for Windows NT 3.51 I think but its buggier...
  • BODBOD
    once u got newshell, you cant get rid of it
  • QQ
    And you can't install Service Packs, so install SP5 before NS.

    -Q
  • wingzeroisminewingzeroismine
    yeah, but any get the full newshell 2 instead of the beta?
  • QQ
    Was it ever finalized? If there is a final NS2 out there it would be amazzing to find, but all I've seen are the 2 different beta.

    -Q
  • DevilsJim89DevilsJim89
    I don't think it was ever finished, scraped it and just went with NT 4.0
  • SlashSlash
    No, NT 3.51 failed to run on 4Mb, so I got twice more ram. Now it's 8Mb... still NT 3.51 runs like crap on it...
  • DevilsJim89DevilsJim89
    NT 3.51 needs like 12MB or more to run decently...thats why I said, I woulda went with Windows 3.11 and DOS if you didnt have more then 12MB of RAM
  • SlashSlash
    Windows 3.11 is alright, NT 3.51 is much worse, but works OK, too...

    If anyone finds this so-called complete newshell, give me it :P WinWorld could use it!

    You can get Newshell and Newshell 2 off Toastytech.com It's widely distrobuted as free ABW. MS no long supports it though or has it on thier FTP. Mainly becuase it was a beta.
  • SlashSlash
    No, the complete version of newshell for WinNT 3.51 is called WinNT 4.0 lol . Newshell exactly was NT4 Beta.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    nononon.

    Cairo was the NT 4 beta.

    Newshell came out in 95 after Windows 95 to give NT 3.51 that new look. It was basicly Explorer for NT 3.51.

    If will say 4.0 in the "about" box, this I dont know, but It is NOT NT 4.0 Beta.
  • SlashSlash
    You're not right... first this was released in order to have a look @ NT4 in future, and then this project got down, cuz NT4 was released
  • AnonymousAnonymous
    Been there. Done that. Old computer. Next to nothing in resouces.

    Fun!

    ...Your resources should be exactly the same in 9.x, no matter what PC your on. a 486 with 8MB RAM still has the same exact resource pool as a P3 with 256MB RAM.
  • smgsmg
    Should I try 95 original on a 486 with 24mb RAM?
  • SlashSlash
    Damn! You can easily run NT4 or Win98 on that machine!
  • smgsmg
    Yea, but it only has a floppy drive, no CD-ROM.
  • SlashSlash
    You may try NT 3.51 version packaged on floppy disks... I've seen it once... Let me find it...
  • smgsmg
    Ok, try.
  • nighticenightice
    WinWorld's 3.5 is the floppy version, I think.
  • SlashSlash
    No, it's not. I have it. It consists of one i386 folder...
  • nighticenightice
    Then what's with all the DISK*.W?
  • SlashSlash
    Disk identifiers.
  • smgsmg
    Found it, Slash?
  • SlashSlash
    Ok. I think it's easier to copy all the NT3.51 i386 folder using several floppy disks, and then, to run setup from hard drive.
  • smgsmg
    Yea, but then... aaargh... isn't there a flp version??
  • JackTheStripperJackTheStripper
    No.
  • smgsmg
    Damn.. ok, I still need a nice OS for my 486.
