I have a Gravis basic gameport game pad but I cant figure out how to get it to work within Windows 3.11. Any one know if Windows 3.1 can even use gameport joysticks/gamepads, and if so, how and which ones? |

I have found that some use a Gravis Utilities, have you tried it? I found some version of it here (maybe) http://www.gravisultrasound.com/utilities.htm |

I am still in the process of building my second gaming computer which will be a 6.22/windows 3.1 computer. I wanted to install windows 3.1/6.22 in my current computer with all my windows 9x os's; however, I cannot get the onboard audio or my pci audio to work with 3.1, so thats why im building a second one with 2 ISA slots. |

Ha! I've been looking at building a computer with windows 3.1. I would love to play some of my old floppy 5.25 Disks on a old machine. Good luck with your build and I would love to se pics. I think I may have found a computer that I may be able to do that with but not sure yet. I do have a computer with windows 98SE for some classic gaming but to have one that would play with the old floppy's would be great. Good luck with your build. |

This would be my second. I have one that I done for Windows 95-XP all in one multi boot machine. I still need a couple things like a hard drive cooler but I'll have to order one of those. I wanted the 3.1 in the same machine as the 9x; however, It seems impossible for the sound to work with the onboard audio and my pci sound card even tho' researching online says the sound will work for 3.1 I cannot get it to. So I just decided to take this old Packard Bell Win98 computer I had and restore it to see if 3.1 sound will work in it. Someone gave me a 5.25 floppy drive the other day for my old floppies; however, it wont read the disks unfortunately :(. The motor spins and everything but no reading. I never used DOS 6.22/3.1 in the early 90s so Im so new to it and installing sound seems to be like a big hassle compared to every other version of Windows. |
