I know that 170210 has version 1.1 for windows 311
170990 has version 3.0 for windows 95 -I was told


It must be in between
Perhaps it says it right on the CD


The PB EUR Website makes me think 2.o is win311

I don't remember if 2.0 was released on CD or floppies.
Probably on floppies because my old 486 didn't have CD drive.
PB Nav 2.0 was designed for Win 3.11 and had the kidspace and lot of
games including skifree, rodent's revenge, rattler race and other
classics.
Later versions written for 95 (3.0 / 3.5 / 3.9) came with a separate
CD.
Don't have it anymore sorry

My 486 seems to be the Packard Bell Legend 5 as far as i know.
It was manufactured with 3 or 4 floppies.

Packard Bell did not give users a setup program for the Navigator
Software. All the end user would receive was a pre-installed copy on
the hard drive and a system restore CD with PB Navigator as part of
the restore image. This, combined with the fact that most people
considered PB Navigator useless and a huge waste of space (the
included tutorials were huge for their time), it is no wonder it was
so hard to find someone with a copy. .

Version 3.5 is an extension of earlier 1.x and 2.x versions that only
used screens of buttons.

My 170369 cd has navigator 3.5
Could you send me the 1.1 version, maybe I could use it to repair the legend
402. I'm not sure what nav version is on the original HD of the d1000 (
When I have time I'll stick the HD back in and try to identify it.

Of the features shown below PB Navigator 3.0 was still mostly button
based but included Kidspace, a "Hallway" screen linking the other
button screens together, and a 2-d version of Workspace. There are
also a few later versions (at least up to 3.9) that include more
rooms.

I am confused
Did you not want 2.0
In any case BILL will check


My 486 manufactured in 1994 Legend 10CD came with the floppies

as image files for PBNAV

When I installed it just now it said version 1.1 on my XP system


I tried the one from 95 CD and windows XP will not allow


Version 2.0 per packardbell.com says it is also a windows 311 program
------------------------------------

Navigator 2.x does not work on my Windows 95 system



Situation


I upgraded my system from Windows 3.x to Windows 95. Whenever I want
to run Navigator 2.x it first wants to minimise the Program Manager
(from Windows 3.x). The system will try this for about 10 times if it
failed the first time. Eventually I get an error message. Can this be
fixed?

Details


Windows 95 systems are shipped with Navigator 3.5. However if you
upgraded to Windows 95 yourself, you could still have Navigator
version 2.x.

Solution


Make sure the Program Manager is loaded before starting Navigator 2.x.
The easiest way to do so is to edit the properties of the shortcut to
Navigator:

Click Start, then select Find
Next click on Files or Folders...
After Named type: NAVIGAT*.LNK
If Look in contains the C: drive then click on Find Now
For all the NAVIGATE.LNK or NAVIGATOR.LNK files do as follows:
Click with the secondary mouse button on the file
Select Properties followed by selecting the Shortcut tab
Edit the Target to :C\WINDOWS\PROGMAN.EXE C:\PBNAV30\PBNEW
\NAVIGATOR.EXE
Click on OK to save the changes
Repeat this process for all other shortcuts (LNK files) to Navigator
________________-------------------------------


So i am assuming it is on a unit past the version 1.1 and past master
CD 170210
and before 170991 which you Willy said was 3.0 per a previous
transcription.


Bill good luck
If it is on CD then you have the best catalogue

So the good version maybe 3.0 as described in this article :
http://toastytech.com/guis/pbnav35.html
It's the only version where we can see a "Hallway".
