    Two possibilities I would try: first I would open the case and pull
the video card. Look for the manufacturer's name and model number
(usually on the biggest black chip). Look on the Internet for a Win 3.1
driver (use http://www.windrivers.com or http://www.driverforum.com or
search in http://www.deja.com). Failing that I would install Norton
Utilities and run Disk Doctor on the floppies to restore the disks.
