At last, I try to post this thread as I had problems with my browser's cache. I have Visual C++ student edition but when I try to run it, it won't; instead, a message box is displayed saying: The line DEVICE: <Directory specified for binaries\MMD.386 is missing in your SYSTEM.INI [386Enh] section. It is something converned with virtual devices.
Anyone knows which line I should add/type to my System.ini file?
Also,it is probably a Visual C++ supposed to run on a 80386 system with Windows 3.x, but my system is Pentium with Windows 98.

I have the student edition of Visual C++ 6.0 running on dual boot Win98/Win2kPro 350mhz 128MB RAM Toshiba laptop. I never had a problem in Win98. I had problems installing on Win2KPro, but after install/reinstall couple times it's OK.
The only entry in my Win98 system.ini that pertains to DEVICE are under the [386Enh] and they as follows;
device=*dynapage
device=*vcd
device=*vpd
device=*int13
device*enable

I don't think any of these entry's have anything to do with C++ but there it is.
