Some older computers have a 'reset' button on or near the motherboard which is designed to keep the motherboard from burning up in case of a power surge. Try looking for it (you will have to open the case to find it.) EDS3 will not run on windows XP. Only DesignShop will run on XP.

I have a very old computer that uses the 3.1 op system. I just use this to send designes to machines. The other night we had a thunderstorm and maybe I didn't get it unplugged in time. I have it on a surge protector but when there is a big storm I unplug everything . Anyway today I tried to turn it on and it said it couldn't find the operating system. Does this mean I have to find a copy of windows 3.1 and install that and also the EDS111? Is there a way to up grade the program to a newer computer ? XP or even 98 ?
