    Moving currently running instance of R13 to Windows 95 VM.

    Hello everyone.  There is a long story and there is a short story.  :-)  Here is the short story version.  

     

    My client has an instance of R13 on his Windows 95 system and CDs are corrupted and no other CDs around with R13. I have copied over the installed directories from the physical 95 system to the Windows 95 VM I created and encounter some errors and I need a clean running instance, just like it running on the current box.  My Win 95 VM instance runs flawlessly.  I am only having issues with the R13 folders that I simply copied over.  Could someone help me identify the solution(s) with the errors I'm running into?

     

    Thanks.

    You're probably missing some dll files from the orginal Windows/System directory

     

    Are getting any error message such as 'Missing MS......DLL'

     

    Video and mouse drivers can also be a pain with Virtual Machines

    Hello David.  Thanks for responding so fast.

     

    No, I'm not getting any missing .dll pop ups.  I grabbed some screen shots of the error happening.  I'm attached an Errors.pdf file.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    Have you or can run _.config ?

     

    Or, run acad.exe -r from the command line.

     

    My guess is that the configio error is either video or keboard / pointer invalid configurations.  -David
