Greg Blauert Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I have not heard of a Win97. It should be either Win95 or Win98/Win98SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 There is no Win97.. there is Windows 3.0, Windows 3.1, Windows95, 98, Windows 98 SecondEdition, Windows 2000, Millennium, XP, Vista and Win 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Linburg Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Wow sorry, I was asking this for a friend that is getting into LOR. He told me that he has a win 97 so I'll see about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquisite Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 There was version of Windows around that said Windows 97 on the boot up screen.This was early editions of Windows 98 before it was released publically.It wasn't officially called Windows 97 anywhere except in the boot screen image.To the best of my knowledge its pretty much identical to Windows 98 (not 98SE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstorms Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Win 97 did exist, it was a trivial mod of Win95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Hamilton Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hey! it could be worse... He might have wanted to run it on Apple !!e or TRS-80!You are probably going to need to run it on a newer computer with at least Win 2000 on it.

I am running it on an old computer in the garage with Win 2K. Is there functionality I am missing? It seems to work fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Blauert Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If it indeed does say Win97, then it has to be an Alpha/Beta/Dogfood build.....much more curious about the hardware on which it runs, is it from '97 too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
