Windows 3.1 under Virtual PC

To get Windows 3.1 run on Microsoft Virtual PC, the necessary drivers for the hardware emulated by Virtual PC must be installed. Except for Sound Blaster 16, for which Windows 3.1 may already have the driver, other drivers must be downloaded and installed manually

Sound Blaster 16 (ISA Slot)
S3 video card (support up to 1024x768 screen resolution and 256 colors)
DEC Ethernet card

As for network connection, the following 2 components are needed:

TCP/IP stack
WinSock (copy and paste to C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System when prompted for missing DLL)

The last version of Internet Explorer that works on Windows 3.1 is Internet Explorer 5.0 16-bit edition.

Download all of the above here
