    Hello everybody.

    I was able to install MS-DOS 6.22, and then tried to install Windows 3.11. This install starts, but as soon as the GUI part of the setup starts, and it asks for "Your name" the VM hangs. No error is displayed, it just hangs :confused:

    Any ideas?

    Best regards,
    Pieter

    Could you give us more details - Parallels version, VM configuration and mode (VT-x or not)?

    - Acceleration : High
    - Memory : 128MB
    - Floppy : Image

    Try to change guest OS type to Windows->Windows 3.11. This should help.
