I remember a time long ago when Microsoft support was great. I had a problem with Windows 3.11 crashing on my computer. Called the free telephone support, and the person went through a rigorous unscripted troubleshooting session with me to finally find the problem. Turned out some dram timing was slightly of in the bios setting which was only tripped by Windows and not by other software.
That was in the 80's.
- velocity3230 1y agoWindows 3.11 was released in 1993. Don't mess with the timeline, Marty!
- PeterStuer 1y agoYou are right. Must have been early 90's. Might have been Windows 3 or 3.1 as well. I remember you had to install a 3rd party tcp/ip stack, as Windows did not come with one.
