- Try adding "device=/path/MONOUMB2.386" to the [386enh] section of you
- system.ini. You will also need to get the file (MONOUMB2.386) from one
- of the windows disks and uncompress it. The details are in the readme file
- that came with Win 3.1. I had the same problem quite a while back when I
- use to have a Trident card...I can't remember what I did to solve it.
-
- I'm not sure if this is the problem or a solution but try it out anyways.
-
- Good luck!
