- hello,
- I'm having trouble installing Windows 3.1 (and 3.0) on a 386 clone.
- When the Setup is supposed to switch to graphics mode it quits with
- the following message:
-
- Standard Mode: Fault in MS-DOS extender
- EC = ... (register contents)
-
- I've tried about everything:
- - installation on a clean disk (partitioned/formatted) goes well but
- as soon as other software is installed Windows startup failes with
- or without the above message
- - checked Windows software
- - replaced hard disk
-
- any suggestions?
