Nope. I had to re-install OS/2 last night because I had accidentally deleted
an unknown file or files in the root directory of my C: drive - which
prevented OS/2 from coming up again. I know exactly what I did wrong......now.
 
More to the point with respect to the above, I re-installed completely and
then applied all patches (VSVGAFX3, HPFS, Kernel, Commga, Blkico, gt16mb were
the main ones) and everything works just fine.
 
If anything.....I hadn't realized how many patches there are!!!
 
But it runs better with every one, so keep up the good work! 
 
BTW - if you named them "comm.sys" and "vcomm.sys" then that may be your
problem.....one too many "m"s in each case. S/B "com.sys and vcom.sys"

B
After playing around for several hours, I rebooted OS/2 and it fails to
boot.  After the os/2 logos appear the screen clears and c0000005 is displayed
in the top left of the screen.  At this point the computer is locked.  
During the session, I made meny changes and ran many programs that
I down loaded from c.o.os2.binaries.  I have no idea what could have been
corrupted, or how anything was corrupted.  I called ibm, and they sent me a
fix which did not work.  

My only alternative that I see is too reinstall os/2.

My questions:  How and what do i back u,p, so that after the installation
I can have all the WPS settings stay as they were.  I have spent many, many
hours setting up things just they way I want them and I do NOT want to loose
any of this work.

You are both correct.

HPFS initially imposes a slightly higher overhead, but as soon as you
start storing files you save space (because HPFS uses a smaller
cluster size).

It has been my experience that on anything other than small hard disks
HPFS wins on disk capacity (with a "normal" mix of files on the
system).

A 386DX-25 should handle OS/2 2.0 fairly quickly.  I first used OS/2
2.0 on a 386DX-20 (PC Designs, 1987) on a 4 meg system and it was
bearable (using FAT).  In fact, booting up on the same 4 meg system
with the WPS disabled, OS/2 2.0 ran as fast as 1.3 ever did, and in
some cases, even faster.  I'd check out the I/O card in that machine
and see what its doing.  When I installed on a 486/33 8 meg system 
things were going real slooooooooow (slower than the 386) until
I swapped the I/O card (the com/parallel ports).  Some of the new
ones just don't work right.

Hi, 
I am a new OS/2 2.0 user and have serious problems w/ the OS. It seems to be 
powerful but honestly IBM has done an extremely shoddy job on the installation 
procedure and on the documents which are confusing to say the very least. What a
shoddy piece of work! I had high hopes for OS/2 2.0 -heard greta things about 
it. But with the installation intructions and procedure so crappy, I am not 
surprised that OS/2 has not won over too many people from Windoze. At least
windoze is easy to install and configure etc.Sheesh!

Enough of the whining - I had to get that off my chest.

My problem is that I have the 5.25" version of the OS installation. Once I get 
done with the Hard Disk prep and finish with disk #5 in the set, the install 
program tells me it is time for the system configuration part of the install.
OK, it says take out the disk from the a: drive and press enter. I do this
as requested -and the machine simply sits there! I cannot go any further. I 
doubt the problem is with my motherboard - since others with a similar setup
have been able to install the OS on their system - with difficulty - but they 
at least got there. Is there a (or any patches I should know about?

My system is:
	386-40 w/64K cache
		AMI BIOS, OPTI chipset
		Trident VGa card
		Mono SVGA Monitor (can run Windoze 3.1 in SVGA mode)
I do not know the date on the BIOS - maybe that is the problem

If you can help -please, please let me know!
Thanks

Thanks to the kind folks who provided all the tips on getting the ET4000
to work.  Here's what my problem was: I had originally installed OS/2
using a different VGA, and then dropped in an ET4000 card.  Then I installed
the VSVGA fix from IBM, and I still had the 'lose sync' problem.

Turns out, if you just swap hardware behind OS/2's back, you have to
fix up the assumptions made during the install; specifically (in my case)
I had to change a line in CONFIG.SYS from

DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS

to

DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS

Now - does anyone know if you have to change the WPS Display driver,
and to what do you change it.

I've already loaded up about 30 meg of software, so I'm not into trying
to reinstall!

|>A bug: try getting the font "System Proportional" under 1024x16.

Here's a few more.  I have a generic Tseng ET4k, so I guess I can't
whinge too much at Orchid :-) I've only tested 1024x16 and 800x256.

Problems with 1024x16:

1.	When locked up, the mouse pointer moves around, not the quite pretty
(well alright, lousy) padlock.  This used to work.
2.	Lots of wrong fonts in the Scheme edit dialog box :-(  This used to
be alright too.
3.	For menus, 'selection bacground' colour is used instead of 'menu
highlight background'.  This has been a problem with all the Orchid
drivers so far - it ruins the cutsey 3d effect on menus.  

Problems with 800x256:

1.	It keeps dying on me.  I'm using HPFS, so I guess this could be the
problem described in readme.1st.  However, I don't think it is
reasonable to expect all Orchid owners to use FAT (HPFS was one of the
reasons I bought OS/2).
2.	Point 3 as above.  Like I said, this has been a problem with all the
drivers.
3.	I like the big icons in 1024x16, and in that resolution, the buttons
in the title bar now work properly.  But why oh why did Orchid cripple
the 800x256 by giving it big icons and non-fitting buttons?  Put it back
like it was before. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hope this helps.  I really like OS/2, but I'd like it even better if
these problems were fixed.

Daniel.

Plus, if you are dual booting DOS 5, the hidden files don't have to be in a

While there have been a few improvement with the fixes provide by
IBM, there are still annoyances that should be ironed out soon:

Starting BASIC or BASICA from a windowed session still brings down
the system with a page fault.  Started from fullscreen, all goes well,
i.e. the error is trapped, and the process is cancelled correctly
without killing the OS.
This is with the latest kernel fix applied.  Though not a problem by
itself, this hints at an underlying bug.

After turning HPFS caching off with CACHE /LAZY:OFF, attempts to
turn it back on lock up that session, until from another session
CACHE /LAZY:OFF is issued.

Also, does anyone else find the Borland C++ 3.0 IDE (DOS) project
management features almost unusable on HPFS, for all the
reloading of editor files, Build All not working, etc. ?
Is it any better on FAT?

Quite successfully, yes.

Are you quite sure that the card is set for Interrupt 5?  This doesn't
happen through magic -- you have to make sure the card is actually
generating interrupts on that line (that you have set the appropriate
jumper).  If the card only has one jumper (i.e. "Choose one: COM1,
COM2, COM3, COM4") then you are likely not using IRQ 5.

Things not to do with OS/2:

1: DON'T run a game found on Hobbes called Trashman, and change it's video 
         mode to 32x32 in its menu if you don't have XGA.

I was curious what the mode looked like, here's what it did. Made the game
very big. Bigger, in fact than my screen. I closed it w/ Ctrl-Esc, deleted
it, unzipped the original files and tried to run it again. Still big! How?
There's no other files associated with the game, even hidden. What did it 
change? I then deleted it again, and tried to shut down. Trap 0006. Reset, 
chkdsk finds file system error, and allocation errors in os2.ini. Then a 
new error screen that says "Extents Not Found". I tried various things for 
a few hours, and eventually had to delete and rebuild os2.ini and os2sys.ini.
Thankfully, I used WKSBackup about a week ago, so I only lost a weeks worth
of customization, rather than 4 months (Thanks to the WPSBackup author. The 
check's in the mail!). My system has been solid as a rock for 4 months, this
was my first big crash. Any ideas on what exactly happened? I thought I had
found the 1st OS/2 virus!

Two comments: 

1.  Are we talking about the same minesweeper for OS/2?  The one that
is called pmmine.exe, with the yellow/greenish squares?  Except for the yellow 
color and that it has a "restart" menu option instead of the smiling/sad
face, it's almost identical to the windows one.

2.  The Minesweeper that came with some old Windows entertainment
pack is identical to the one in 3.1 but it runs under win-os2.

(But at think that ends up running even slower than pmmine.)
