Re: Unable to startup TurnKey MVS 3.8 after installation. Help needed.

Thanks Laddie, I played around trying to solve my problem and ended up allowing TurnKey to install Hercules. That did not resolve my problem either, so I am going back to re-install the newer version Hercules and tryout your recommendation.

Again, thanks

It's just that I was of the belief that once I have installed Hercules and MVS38J, startmvs will autofind Hercules and whatever else it requires. This being my first time of trying to play with this software, I wasn't even sure I got it right the first time...anyway
