Thanks very much for your prompt replies (see below). I have now accessed
dr6win.zip, thank you, so no more answers please! [Thanks to anyone else
who answers too, but I won't send out lots of replies to save the network.]

In comp.os.ms-windows.setup you write:

|Trying to set up Windows 3.1 gives me the following error message
|and a DOS prompt after loading 2 disk's worth:

|Standard Mode: Fault in MS-DOS Extender
|EC=0000 ....  [other regs omitted]
|                              .... SP=01F2

|I am using DR-DOS 6.0. I also use QEMM and VDISK, but removing all
|references to these in the CONFIG.SYS file does make any difference.  I
|seem to remember seeing something on the network about problems using
|DR-DOS 6.0 and Win3.1 together, but I forget what the fix was, if any.
|Suggestions and pointers would be appreciated.

Probably you have an old version of DR-DOS 6.0. There is a patch
named dr6win.zip available, which replaces system files, hidos.sys,
emm386.sys, sstor.sys. You might find this out by looking at the prompt
message of hidos.sys. If it says 2.0 you need this patch, 2.2 is the newer 
version. I forgot the other version no.s.

Get the patch and apply it before trying to install win 3.1
The patch is available on many ftp servers. I should be e.g. on 
src.doc.ic.ac.uk.  [under /ibmpc/simtel20/windows3/dr6win.zip] 

Hope that helps.

     If you have not already done so you will need the April upgrade to
DR-DOS 6 to get windows 3.1 to work correctly. You can either obtain this
from D.R. { Cannot remember the number of hand } or from one of the 
following FTP sites.

  There was also an upgrade on december the 12 to fix a few things. I do
not know if this file is on one of the above sites but I do know that it
come from the upgrade from D.R.
