Well, now that I installed the CSD (or SP as some calls it), I have to
ask, what did I just gain? I know there is a spapar.txt file which
contains the list of all the patches and fixes it contains. And I know
that this CSD gives us the 32 bit graphics engine (I have an ATI card so
I don't get to use it yet... :( ). But I thought this CSD is also the
one with the Win 3.1 compatibility add-on along with the multi media
add-on. I can't see any multimedia related icons anywhere. Now do I see
Win 3.1 stuff under Win-os2. In fact, everything looks the same and I
did the full update. Am I missing something here? I especially was
looking forward to things like sound driver icon in win-os2, media
player, attach sounds to events.... like Win 3.1. So to clarify, what
are we getting with this CSD? Thanks.

Thomas.

ALT - F1 worked for me after I installed my service pack. It restored
my desktop back to what it was before I installed the Service Pack and
I eventually was able to fix the problem I had with the white fonts
that I cound not see in my window list. I could change the color of 
the fonts but they became white again after I rebooted. After I did
the ALT - F1 to get my original desktop back, I went back and started
changing the colors again. No problems since then. It was the IBM
person who originally told me to try the ALT - F1 solution.

This is strange and I don't like it much.  I was sitting here at my machine
running OS/2 2.0 minding my own business when I went to open a VDM
window session.  The window opened to the full size and then shrank to
what appears to be a 320x200 window.  I thought, "Hmm...  I must have
run something that screwed things up" and I powered down and rebooted.
When OS/2 came back up, all DOS programs which I used to run in windows
on the Desktop now are 320x200 and the text wraps around in an
unpredictable fashion.

All these VDM windows worked fine previously.  I can't think of anything
I did that would cause this.  I tried changing the font size and that
does change the window size, but they are still about half the size they
should be.  

HAS ANYBODY SEEN THIS BEHAVIOUR???

Don't run with ATI's drivers -- they apparently break with the Service
Pack.  Instead, use the stock 8514/A drivers that come with OS/2 (for
1024x768 in 256 colors).  Configure your adapter for 72 Hz refresh
rate (or less; noninterlaced is fine, if you monitor supports it)
using the ATI setup disk.

I have a Diamond Speedstar/SP running 1024x768x256, do the following after
installing the SP:

	1. run the dspinstl.exe program in \os2\install
		- pick primary display -> tseng svga -> resolution.
		- have SP disks 12 & 13 handy.
	2. run DOS full screen, delete svgadata.pmi (svga off), then
	   do a vmode monitor, finally recreate svgadata.pmi (svga on).
	3. shutdown, reboot.

Thats as all.

I had the same problem. Mine hit 4.5 megs before I realized what was doing it.
Whenever I opened the Settings menu on objects (that hadn't had their settings
menu opened before) the os2sys.ini file grew by 40 kb.

Now I only started doing this recently, so I don't know if this "feature"
existed before.


All I can suggets is: open up a window, and type dir \os2\os2sys.ini
periodically, and see if you can isolate when the os2sys.ini grows.
Perhaps you have the same prolem as I do, but who knows.

Once you isolate the cause, stop doing it,, and call IBM.

There are a couple of programs you might find useful:
cpyini, and a package called inimaint. Both will let you copy the
*valid* data out of os2sys.ini, into a new file. THen you can replace
os2sys.ini with the corrected one. This is helpful if you don't want to
lose all your settings. NOTE: this only reverses the problem, it does
not eliminate it.

By os2sys.ini has creeped up to 140K recently, so I'll have to reset it
again when it gets too big. 4, 5, 6 megs for OS2sys.ini is way too big.
this is a bug.

I decided to play with my DOS settings this morning and I have sped up my
DOS scrolling by a factor of 10.

I have a Tseng Labs ET4000 Mega/Eva 2 and decided to turn off the
VIDEO_ROM_EMULATION. Seems the ET4000 is a lot better at scrolling than
OS/2.

Now, if only I could do the same for OS/2 sessions. My OS/2 windows are now
10 times slower than my DOS windows at text scrolling (I have timed them).

I find that a little ridiculous to be honest. We have all these fancy
settings for DOS sessions but are at the total mercy of the OS/Video
Drivers/Sun Spots when it comes to OS/2 sessions. Is there any way to make
OS/2 not use software for scrolling and go to the Video Bios. 40 Seconds to
scroll 128 lines in a window compared to 0.78 seconds full screen (and now
4 seconds in a DOS window) is totally pathetic.

serious problems with the SP... so let's see...

The SP is driving me nuts!  The installation seemed to take forever,
and after the reboot, I discovered that my DOS windowed sessions
behaved wildly.  First I discovered, as i pressed ALT-HOME, the screen
went totally wacko!  It turned into a blank screen with several
flashing color "bars" with letters in them -- kinda like when i
switched into the wrong video mode.  Making that guess, I tye SVM (set
video mode program) to switch mode to VGA, and that fixed the screen
-- altho after pressiong ctrl-esc the WPS was a total mess (easily
correctly by refresh tho)  Ok, so that made the dos window/full screen
look fine, except shortly after it ALT-HOME refused to work!  The same
ting happens everytime i boot up the system.  I installed GA with
regular vga driver.  I suppose I could fix the dos screen and live w/o
alt-home, but this is the _SERVICE_ Pak, and it sucks big time.  Oh
yeah I've installed SP several times, including different copies of
it.  HELP!!!

Well, it might be a bad diskette, or it might be that your hard disk

I only use the 800x600x16 drivers and they work pretty well seamlessly.  I
am pretty sure, however, that there are no 256 color seamless drivers as
of yet (well...none on the copy of the drivers that I have, anyway).

I am not sure about the 32-bit drivers (which they had better be working

I use the 'NEC P2 plus' printer at home (it's a german version of the P2200-
I think it has some fonts more) with the Epson - Panasonic (don't ask me
wich of them) driver. It has some advantages for single sheet feeding.

This 'NEC24PIN.DRV' is the driver for winos2. It is no problem to use this
driver in your winos2 sessions and having Epson driver installed on os2
desktop. The only thing to mention is not to make the automatic winos2
printer installation during the installation of the os2 printer. Instead of
use the winos2 control panel.
