Stroker Ace Geos runs just fine with Win95 and I use it all the time here. Here are some tips that may help you: RUNNING GEOWORKS ENSEMBLE 2.0 WITH WINDOWS95 If you're having difficulties -- the most common problem is receiving a "No valid font files in Userdata\Font" message, follow these diagnostic steps and see if it helps. 1. From the MS-DOS prompt, type the following commands, substituting the drives and paths for your particular system: C:\>SETVER D:\WINDOWS LOADER.EXE 5.0 [enter key] and then C:\>SETVER D:\WINDOWS GEOS20.BAT 5.0 [enter key] Caution: Remember to substitute YOUR correct path to Windows. On many machines, that may be C:\WINDOWS. Also, enter the program filename alone; DO NOT include the path. GEOS20.BAT is correct. C:\GEOS20\GEOS20.BAT would be wrong. 2. Close the MS-DOS window and choose Start/Shut Down/Restart the computer. 3. Once you are back in Windows, Right-click Start and choose Explore. 4. In the Explorer, switch to the Drive containing your Ensemble folder (usually \GEOS20) and double-click to open the folder. 5. Scroll down and find the GEOS20 file that has the MS-DOS icon. Since Explorer hides file extensions by default, right-click the GEOS20/MS-DOS file icon and choose Properties. Check to see that the file is a Shortcut to MS-DOS Program and the filename GEOS20.PIF. This is the file you want. 6. In GEOS20 Properties, click the Program tab. Check to see that the path and working directory is correct to your GEOS20 folder. If the Drive letter is wrong, chance it. Click Apply. 7. In GEOS20 Properties, click the Advanced button. Check the following two items if they are both not already checked and click OK. [ ] Prevent MS-DOS-based programs from detecting Windows. [ ] Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary. 8. Click the Memory tab. Check to see that all items are set to Auto. In addition, my Memory Properties for GEOS20 leave Conventional Memory/Protected UNCHECKED and Extended (XMS) Memory/Uses HMA CHECKED. 9. Click the Screen tab. Set Usage to Full-screen, initial size: Default. Leave Window and Performance buttons CHECKED. Click Apply and click OK. 10. Find the GEOS20.BAT file. This file will have a GEAR icon. Right-click and choose Properties. Ensure that all Properties tabs are set the same way as those for GEOS.PIF. 11. You should be able to double click on the GEOS20.PIF file -- the one with the MS-DOS icon -- and successfully launch Ensemble 2.0. If you run Ensemble frequently and want to have quick access to it, there are several ways to do it: a. Right-click on the GEOS20.PIF file and choose Create Shortcut. Drag the Shortcut to GEOS20 file to your desktop. b. Left-click, hold and drag a copy of the GEOS20.PIF file on to the Start button c. Add GEOS20.PIF to your Start/Programs menu MOUSE PROBLEMS If you find you have no mouse in Ensemble or, you are running Ensemble's Setup program and GEOS reports that it cannot find the mouse driver: 1. In Setup, scroll to the top of the mouse driver list and select NONE. Continue with Setup. 2. In Ensemble, use the keyboard commands to open Preferences/Mouse and choose Change. Try selecting the GENERIC mouse, which worked for me or Nothing Else Works/No Idea. Stu ...

What happens when you try to run GEOS from DOS7? Maybe this might help... ============================ Area: GEOWORKS Date: 20 May 96 19:35:00 From: Chris Sallek To: All Subject: Alt To Setver ============================ GW Steve: Ready for the trivia question? GW Steve: If you're using Win95 or PC DOS 7, with Ensemble 2.0, what can you do *instead* of loading and using SETVER? GW Steve: add this line to the [system] section of GEOS.INI "fs = ms4.geo" Only try this with the above OS's. It won't work with DR- DOS (or Novell, I think... maybe not even some MS-DOS's... I don't remember all of the caveats besides only using it with those two OS's). The nice thing is if you are only loading SETVER.EXE to use Geoworks, you no longer need to load it with this fix. Might free up some conventional memory for some folks. --- PPoint 2.00 * Origin: The WIN95/GEOS Connection Point (1:115/769.2) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 220 GEOWORKS Ref: DFJ00002 Date: 11/10/96 From: PETER CAMPBELL Time: 07:53am \/To: CHRISTOPHER HODGETTS (Read 2 times) Subj: GEoz Geiga etc Hi Chris G-OS has closed down but Geiga continues.
