Ok i dont know the mem but it can hold windows dont know hardware 
specs(elaborate) When i say it wont run i mean it wont load up it just sits 
there and makes funny noises and i cant get into any file from win 
The error messages i get are ones saying "you need microsoft windows to run 
this program" and i cant post those files because roght now as im typing im 
using an amiga but i could tell you whats on them. 
Could the problem be in that when I reinstall win 3.1 it doesnt load some 
drivers and especialy the one called shell.dll that might be the problem.
