  1. as alternative give a try to : * https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows95 Windows 95, running in an Electron app. * https://github.com/otya128/winevdm 16-bit Windows (Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, etc.) on 64-bit Windows
  2. > DOSBox 0.74-3 Note that the "Active Desktop" update is needed in order to run DOSBox under NT4 , or you will get : The procedure entry point shGetSpecialFolderPathA could not be located in the dynamic link library shell32.dll So you need to install at first the darn IE4* (with Active Desktop) then the DOSBox *IE4 wont be installed if you already have another higher version of the iE so uninstall any other -higher- versions then install the ie4 with Active Desktop
  3. thanks for the reply, in fact I managed to solve it -but alas did not have the time to post here. Anyway , it looks like that that I messed up the re-install USB's, as at sometime ago I had the silly idea to make and keep an image of the recovery USB, but finally I managed to mix it with other recovery images then the one I used now was from a friend's venue, same model but the guy got it from USA. So far I found that the USA model came with OEM bound to 8.1 Core, mine (UK) came with 8.1 Core with bing. way different versions. Problem is that the 8.1 with Bing from Dell is nowhere to found. After some search on the web I found the 8.1 with bing from MSDN (x19-57135-blahblah in my case), so I connected the venue with an OTG cable and powered hub and performed the installation. Windoze is activated like a charm. Bit messy recovery, but at least I have activated OS.
  4. Hi, I have a dell venue pro 8 and I decided to go back to 8.1 as I started to dislike the win10. Issue is that there is no way to activate the win8.1 , i got that error (Activation Error: 0xC004C003) i even tried activation via phone (automatic) did not work. I understand that the OEM license is valid with a product called win8.1 with bing or connected in fact I used the same restore USB that I created before install the w10 (win19 btw reformated the old recovery part and created their own one). I am not sure if the issue is with Dell or M$ , so what are my options? buy a win8.1 key (cheap on ebay) or is there any patch (UEFI) ? thx in advance
