(I hesitate to affirm that, as the whole thing seems a lot hinkier than when installing the VM additions in newer OS's.) But the VM window still traps the cursor -- I have to press the right-Alt key to let it free -- and I get that warning about this the first time I click in the window. Is this the correct behavior?

"Bummer! Even when you're running Windows 3.1???" <gd&rvvvf...> So, what do the additions really do in DOS then? I guess there's the CD emulation. Anything else? (Should I start a new thread?

>"Bummer! Even when you're running Windows 3.1???" <gd&rvvvf...> Yep. (I run wfw instead of 3.1.) >So, what do the additions really do in DOS then? Shared folders, CDRom drivers, better idle handling, and I think, time sync, though I haven't checked that. Steve Jain can answer that better than I, as I usually don't even bother with the DOS additions. >(Should I start a new thread? What if the next question is how to >increase Win3 screen resolution? <bg>) It might not be bad to tag it with DOS or Win3.1, but to answer your question, you need to find an S3 Trio driver. -- Bob Comer <Microsoft MVP Windows - Virtual Machine> On Mon, 7 May 2007 18:10:48 -0700, "Karl E.
