1) The "free" OS/2 he was referring to was IBM's update policy.  Bug fixes and
   minor enhancements are FREE.  Apparently there is a planned drop of OS/2
   which will occur in June, containing full Win 3.1 support, and it will be
   free to all registered users of OS/2 2.0.  None of this nickel-and-diming
   that the software industry has been fraught with as of late.

2) The 32-bit engine is a re-release of core display code (ie, the equivalent 
   of GDI.EXE in Windows).  Currently it's been compiled as 16-bit code,
segmentation
   and all.  The next release will be a flat, 32-bit address-space version
which
   should provide an immense speed increase.  It has nothing to do with the 
   bits-per-pixel of your display.

Seems like this should be simple enough to do, so maybe I am just missing

selection bar [that bar you can move with the up and down arrow (or mouse)
to choose from a menu]?  I am running Microsoft Windows 3.0 for Logitech

I need software for project management of bigger projects.
Problems with eg. MS Project:
If there is an inconsistency (eg. too tight restrictions, loops etc.) it will
only tell me it cannot solve the problem. No indication whatsoever to the
reason for that.
Also the distribution of resources sometimes gives wrong results, ie too
much slack time, starting date too early etc.

I'd like to hear about software that works for big projects even if the user
interface is not so flashy. Real world experience on big projects would
be most welcome.

thanks in advance

You poor fellow. I and everyone that I know who ordered upgrades got
them on Monday as scheduled. Mine came at 8:30 AM (to my chagrin at the

I never get to open Window.  With the old IPX, now problems with

I'm sure you called the free (for the lifetime of the product, 
not 90 days like MS) service line, didn't you?  What did they do about it?  
I've been running DR DOS for about six months now with no compatibility 
problems.
Now it appears DRI already has a free update disk that will run Windows
3.1.
This may all be a moot point for me, though.  I went to the OS/2 rollout
yesterday, and it looks pretty good for $49.  Imagine that, a REAL
operating system on a PC.

Hi:
I have a couple of questions about configuring Windows 3.1.

1. I would like to load some TSRs high but have noticed that
when I use EMM386 with the NOEMS option W3.1 will not run in
Enhanced mode.  Without EMM386 and TSRs loaded in low memory
W3.1 will let me run Enhanced.  How should I load my TSRs in
high memory and run W3.1 in Enhanced mode without using the 
WIN/3 command?

2.I have found that I can not load Smartdrv.  When I do so
my D: drive which is compressed using Superstore refuses
to respond.  Is it important to run Smartdrv with W3.1?
Is my problem with the compressed drive and if so is it
possible to load Smartdrv with Superstore running.

3.  I have noticed that I sometimes loose control of my mouse
when I run non windows applications such as Nortons or DOS 
shell from W3.1.  Any suggestions?

By the way I am running a 386 with 2M RAM 40M drive, C:5M
uncompressed d:35M X2 compressed.

Thanks in advance.

	Gee, It sure improved the speed of the disk accesses on my system,

The solution is to use the compress.exe program (which is on my

The commands are:

compress a:mouse.sy_ mouse.sys
compress a:mouse.co_ mouse.com

Summary: DeskJet 500 Driver fails miserably
Date: 9 Apr 92 19:00:14 GMT
Article-I.D.: hydra.54082
Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology

I just got the Windows 3.1 upgrade (font pack and everything).  I was very
excited to get it openned up and installed, but, being the ever-so-annoyed
-with-Microsoft one, I did NOT install it over the old Windows...and it's
a good thing, too!

I promptly set up everything to go.  It all worked great, right up to the
point I tried to print something...garbage.  I checked controls...sure enough,
I had the right DeskJet 500 printer driver.  I tried printing in multiple
different applications - Ami Pro, MS Write...  No change.  I tried printing
non-TrueType fonts.  No help there.  I even tried switching to the DeskJet +
driver.  Didn't do a thing for me -- it's the same exact driver (no need to
even go back to the distribution disks).

So I'm real happy now (read with *sarcasm*).  I just blew an extra $50 on
this great package of new fonts to go along with my new Windows, and I can't
even print them out...or anything else for that matter.  Does anyone know
why the air-heads at Microsoft can't CHECK their product before trying to
sell it?  I mean, sheesh, this kind of bug is one you just can't miss!

Anyways...back to a more constructive note...  Has anyone else gotten their
DeskJet 500 or DeskJet + to work properly with 3.1?  Does anyone know how
to fix the problem (other than buying a new printer of a different kind)?
Is there some simple little trick like the one needed in Excel 3.0 where
you switch to 75 dpi and then back to 300 dpi to get it to work.  (I'm
about to go in and try that one, BTW...)

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

It doesn't warm boot the machine. It gives a screen stating "Allthough you
can use CTRL+ALT+DEL to quit an application THAT HAS STOPPED RESPONDING TO
THE SYSTEM, THERE IS NO APP IN THIS STATE". Does that you give you an
answer on when it can be used? You must of hit CTRL+ALT+DEL twice which will
give you a warm reboot. It works fine and has been in all the betas that I

I also ordered the full package (Win 3.1 + extra TrueType fonts + Resource Kit)
but I did get the upgrade itself on Tuesday 4/7.  Called MS and was told that
the WRK should be here by next Monday.

One of our people here in the office was a speaker at the Chicago bash;
he came back with a copy of the WRK.  Some of it is almost word-for-word
identical to the various *.WRI files which come with Windows, but other
parts look to be excellent background info as well, along the lines of
the 3.0 WRK.  Worst part is that it's now a perfect-bound book instead of
a ring binder, meaning that (a) updates can't be made easily, and (b)
you can't easily stick extra notes into the WRK material.

The delay in delivering the upgrade and fonts package may have been inside
the company, so I can't automatically fault Microsoft for the delays...and
other posters have reported that FedEx scrambled their delivery instructions
in some cities.

I use QEMM and Windows (first 3.0, now 3.1).  QEMM works as well or
better than Microsoft equivalents.  It also leaves me with 40-50K
more upper memory (between 640k and 1mb) for loading other things high.

I do recommend it.

I've been having the following problem with win3.0 and now win3.1 (I had hoped
it would be fixed with the new release and drivers):

When I select a range of text the first item (word/cell/etc.) is selected fine
but as I drag the cursor down to select a large area, the other items can not
be seen. They get whited over and can not be seen :-(

I've got a TSENG 1 meg ram 256 color graphics card with 3.1 drivers, a genius 
mouse and driver.

Any ideas anyone ?

Thanks :-)))
