Windows 3.1 with Boxer

keblen · Dec 12, 2012, 06:50 AM

Hello everyone,

I was happy to experienced the Windows 3.1 on Boxer, it was much simplier than other virtual machine systems. But, I got one problem. The sound is working, thanks to a guy who made some drivers for Mac, but I can't have the video working. I'm a novice but I think the graphic card driver's missing.

I tried using this one : http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sear...Hub+%28GMCH%29

But after the installation, when I'm at the control panel and I want to open ChipsCPL, this message appears: "Monitor definition file CHIPSCPL.INI does not exist." And no videos working.

I have a Macbook Air (june 2012) with OS 10.8.2, Graphics : "Intel HD Graphics 4000" but I don't know if it's the pertinent component.

Do you have any suggestions ?

Thanks.

I don't have any suggestions for your problem, but it is interesting trying to run such old software on your machine. I admire your courage!

Thanks.
In fact I'm pretty obsessed by playing old games only working on this OS. Aaaahhh... nostalgy is a tough fault
