@jonirob Mainly, I was struggling to install MS-DOS 3.31 Compaq OEM due to not knowing how to do it correctly since it's different than installing Microsoft MS-DOS 3.30. As for the specs, here is what I'm using.
Machine: Compaq Deskpro 386 (May 1988) Memory: 2MB Display: IBM VGA Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse Hard Disk: 925 Cylinders, 7 Heads, 17 Sectors, 53MB Floppy Drives: A = 3.5" 720K, B = 5.25" 1.2M
@jonirob Sorry for the late reply, but I'm still having trouble with Windows 3.0 Build 14.
I managed to get it installed, but it gives me "Error: XMS version 2.0 or greater device driver not present" whenever I try to start the OS, how do I fix it?
Windows 3.00.014 Alpha Build has wallpaper support. However it isn't exposed within the UI, and no wallpaper files ship by default. It is possible to set a wallpaper by copying a .BMP file to the Windows folder, and then editing WIN.INI and adding a DeskTopBitmap parameter under the [windows] section that points to the file name of the wallpaper the user wishes to set.

The Multimedia Edition is based on this version.

Machine: 386SX Amstrad MegaPC
CPU: Intel i386SX/25

I have it running in 86Box v2
86Box settings:
Machine Ami 486 clone
Memory 8mb
Display EGA
Microsoft Serial Mouse
Hdd Sectors 17 Heads 2 Cylinders 612 10MB
Floppy A 3.5 720K
Floppy B 5.25 1200k
Then install MS-DOS 3.31 Compaq OEM, input the 1st floppy of Windows and type setup.bat C:\Windows and when asked, change to disk 2.
When it's finished installing you'll need to add DEVICE=C:\Windows\HIMEM.SYS and FILES=40 to CONFIG.SYS.
Then reboot and at the C: prompt type cd c:\windowx (enter} then type win386 (enter). Done!

Try it on a 486 machine with 8mb memory.
