I have OS/2 2.1 installed on a 486/33 with a WD90c30 SVGA card (1MB).
However the resolution is not 1024x768. It looks more like 400x600.
I went thru the FAQs but they made little sense. So, if there is a
kind soul outthere willing to guide me, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

The "Packed file is corrupt" is a Microsoft bug in their packexe
program.  They assumed that programs would always be loading above
some point in memory (64k?), and OS/2 is giving you too much free
space.  You have two options, either put a few small things low, or
track down a program called "loadfix", and run loadfix <program>.
I had a copy floating around somewhere, but I don't know where it is
now, or where I got it (DOS or OS/2 1.x)

I called the OS/2 - line and asked how to get the SP. It is available of course
at the appropriate IBM mailboxes, but the guy at the phone told me another
interesting thing. ALL IBM stores are connected to some sort of IBM internal
mailbox, so in theory you should be able to walk into the next IBM store (the
famous "local IBM dealer) and get the SP there. The store should download it
themselves and all you'd had to do is bring your disks with you and copy the
SP from their computer. The only problem seems to be, that no IBM dealer 
I've contacted so far, knew about this.
So lets wake someone up.
Phone numbers are:
OS/2 line: 0231 9748 222 (voice)   -480 (fax)

The SP might also be available from
Firma VCS, Forststrasse 53, 7000 Stuttgart 1, Phone: 0711 621832.
They used to ship the CSET CSD for DM 3,50 per disk.

I just installed GA plus the October service pak on a brand new 
machine. I'm still running the November beta release on my old 
machine. New machine: 486/DX2(66) AMI Enterprise II motherboard, 
AMI SCSI Controller (Series 44), Toshiba 838 megabyte SCSI-2 HDD, 
3.5 and 5.25 high density floppies, a slow Stealth VRAM 1meg video 
adapter (with no OS/2 drivers, of course). 16 megs RAM.

The funny thing: Install had a few troubles, mostly with my mouse 
going undetected. My fault, didn't configure the CMOS for the bus 
mouse. So, finally all is more or less okay. Buton about every other 
or every third warm or cold boot, the system goes through CHKDSK, as 
though I had not shut down. But I have consistently used the shutdown 
procedure. So, I ask, "Anybody got any ideas as to why this is 
happening, and what I can do about it????"  TIA!

also if you have access to a CD-ROM drive connected to a SUN workstation

you can mount the CD on the SUN using the parameters
     -r -t hsfs
and read it with no problems to produce disk images...

Subject: Well, I bit the bullet....
Organization: University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1993 19:09:18 GMT

Well, I've been toying with checking out OS/2 for a month or so and I just
bit the bullet and ordered the 2.1 CD from IBM (hey, it's worth $15 to at
least LOOK at it).

Well, the lady on the phone said it should ship in the next
week-and-a-half so I've got two weeks to get psyched up for this thing.

So, my question is, can anyone point me to some documents that detail what
I should to my system prior to install? (ie, how much room needs to be
where, what drives need to be partitioned what ways, which gods should I
pray to, etc).

Here is what I have on my system:
	386-25 cpu
	8 megs memory
	105mb IDE Drive C:
	120mb IDE Drive D:
	AMDEK Laserdrive (x2) CD-ROM (yes, two of them)
	WD/Paradise VGA w/ 512k
	Generic VGA monitor
	SoundBlaster

In any case, I seriously doubt that the CDRom drives will be compatible
with OS/2 (although they do use a Hitachi driver so who knows).  I'll
probably create the install floppies in DOS and then install from floppy
(groan).

Any suggestions would be great.  I do want to work with the HPFS file
system at some point.  Should I partition Drive D: (which has the most
space on it) in some ways to do this?  Right now, drive C: has 40 megs and
D: has 80 megs.  I could free up A LITTLE more on C:, but probably only
about 10 megs without totally having to change the system around.

Can OS/2 boot from Drive D:?  Could it operate successfully in 40 megs + a
D: partition?

In any case, suggestions, pointers, words of advice, etc are greatly
appreciated.  As always, flames will be giggled at.

Thanks

OS/2 partition must be set as LOGICAL (in this case: generally speaking
tihs is not mandatory), since you can see only one primary partition at
a time, and a bootable DOS partition must be a primary one. They can be
all Logical partitions if you don't want to boot from DOS (? I'm not sure
anyway...). Then you make OS/2 partition INSTALLABLE (if it is not yet)
and... enjoy DOS-in-a-window with your FAT partition.... :-)
(if Murphy permits, of course....)

Hello,

My WPS crashes regularily, sommetimes three or four times an hour.
I'm in the process of checking and testing several software.
Doing so the most frequent job is opening a folder, reading a readme-file
with the system editor, and then dragging the folder (mostly with
folder window left open) to shredder.

The crashes are accompanied by lots of strange effects:
- sometimes ctrl-alt-delete and/or shutdown can't boot the system anymore,
  but never complete
- sometimes system hangs completely
- once I even got a trap d

My System is GA+SP, with ET4000 driver and Novell Requester.

Someone mentioned the et400 drivers beeing flakey. I got rid of my trident
and purchased an ET4000 finally to have a working svga, so I installed 
them some days ago...
but should I remove them again ?

Thanks for any Idea

This capability would certainly be desirable, but there is an obvious difficulty. The information contained in the program object is specific to the current file system: the name and directory of the executable file and the directory in which the program will be run. Thus, a program object copied to a different file system will in general not work. That said, it should be possible to write a "program object dump/restore" utility, which dumps the information relevant to a given program object into a portabl


e format that can be editted by hand, if necessary, and then restored, possibly onto a different file system. Note that this functionality is part of the WPSbackup utility, so it would not be too hard to write.

I tried this, and it doesn't work for me. Selecting inside the folder

Organization: Supercomputer Systems Division (SSD), Intel
Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1993 20:16:00 GMT

	I am a fairly new user of OS/2 2.0 (GA).  So far, so good!
I am having a devil of a time with one problem.  I am a dedicated 
user of Quicken for Windows.  The program runs very satisfactorily 
seamless, but I am unable to use my second printer to print checks.
	I have the printer driver installed for both OS/2 and 
Win-OS2.  I have tried swapping the cable used for this printer with 
that used for the first printer, and have eliminated the "cheap cable"
possibility.  I have run diags to verify that my IRQs and their 
addresses are well-behaved, and it sure looks to me like they are.  
BTW, the first printer running off the integrated parallel port works 
fine.
	The second parallel port is being serviced by a Kyoncera (sp?)
8-bit card that cost me a whopping $18.  It works fine under DOS, but 
I suspect that it is the reason I am having the OS/2 problem.  I have 
reloaded the printer with plain paper (hate to experiment with Quicken 
checks!) and have tried very direct things from an OS/2 window, like 
"DIR > LPT2".  No soap.
	So I am prepared to invest in a "better" parallel card.  All 
of the local stores that I have visited or spoken to carry the "cheap"
cards.  I have tried calling the IBM support numbers listed in the 
FAQ and have been unable to get the help I need.  Local vendors have 
been even less helpful.
	Is there a list of add-on parallel cards that will support 
OS/2?  Does anybody have a good source for same?  I have even broken 
down and bought a "Computer Shopper" and looked through the whole 
thing searching for such a beast to mail-order.  No luck.
	Any pointers appreciated.  Email or a post (if you feel this 
is of general interest) very welcome.  Machine is an EISA 486DX33, if
someone has a similar beast and has found something that works.

exactly if you have DOS=high set and change EMS to 0.
If haven't experienced any problems running wolf in a window,
except that due to the way wolfd uses the video card, the
window is messed up. (split into several equal bits).

G'day People of the Net :-)

Just before this thread dies I thought I'd put in my 2 cents (about 1.5c US :-)
Whether or not you can run IDE and ESDI drives together in the same machine at
the same time depends upon the ESDI controller used!  I used to have a 200M
IDE and a 760M ESDI drive (UltraStor 12f controller) in the PC I am typing this
on.  The UltraStor board allowed the use of both kinds of drive as long as the
IDE was drive 1 and the ESDI was drive 2.  A Western Digital 1007WAH ESDI
controller board I also had would NOT allow IDE coexistence however.

As for the question of about running OS/2 on such a system, the answer is yes
(hey, I did it! :-)  Hope this helps somebody somewhere, or I just wasted some
bandwidth :-)

PS: I DON'T have a Compaq, but if somebody would like to send me one I won't
    knock it back :-)
