Windows 3.1 (for DOSBox) 3.1

Category: OS
Year: 1992
Description:This is a preinstalled, ready to boot image of Windows 3.1 for DOSBox. To mount it, in DOSBox, type mount c: (directory you unzipped the zip folder) and press ENTER/RETURN. DOSBox doesn't recognise the windows directory, so type "c:\windows\win" without the quotation marks. C:\Win DOES NOT WORK! Oh, and by the way, if it ever asks for the setup disks, browse to c:\win3set and that directory has all the setup files (no need to change disks). Enjoy!
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Localization: EN
OS: Windows 3.x

In DosBOX, it emulates a different soundblaster BUT you can get a soundblaster 16 driver and hopefully, it will work.

It runs great! This is so cool, really brings me back to the old days. I tried to play an old game, but it says it requires 256-color graphics, which this apparently doesn't have. are there any graphics drivers available for download?

The Soundblaster driver isn't any more at the Dropbox adress you gave us, Fembot. Where can I find it now?

I am trying to install win 3.1 on Dosbox but when I was in the processing the setup but then I read something that says "Setup is unable to copy the file C:\windows\control.hlp. This file already exists in the destination directory and is marked as read-only. You must remove the read-only attributes from all the files in your Windows directory in order to successfully complete Windows setup." But when I check for the control.hlp file, it's already unattributed. So I had to remove it, but then the setup asks to remove attributes of cpwin386.cp, so I got rid of that, and then it asks for setup.exe (which is very important!) HELP ME! I wanna get it installed! Would somebody please help me?! D:

DOSBox emulates a Soundblaster 16,
and there is the driver.
Install it.

Please I need help! I am running Sim City Classic for Windows (version 1.1) and I can not hear proper sounds. Just silly beeping. The readme that came with the game says I am supposed to be hearing "great quality music" from "a soundcard"... question is, how to configure Win 3.1 to use a soundcard? Thanks!
