Do you have the upgrade version of Windows? It's a pain to install because you have to go from DOS and then Win 3.1 and then Win 95. You might stop there or you might go to Win98(lose 98). The fact is that you can go from DOS to Windows 95 or 98. Just install it and when it asks you where your Windows 3.1 is (directory) just put in the first Windows 3.1 disk and tell the computer to look in that drive. It will find the file it needs and keep on installing.
