I had the same situation and here is how I solved it.  My setup is that I
have a m/s mouse in com1 and the modem on com2.  The trick I found was
that the config.sys entry that had mouse.sys should have serial=com2 added
to the end.  That fixed the problem (after reboot of course).  Telix now
works like a champ - well it did until my motherboard died but that is a
another story.

Hi there,
   Since this is my first post to any news group please bear with me.
I am having random lockups in OS/2 and I'm not positive of why it's 
happening or how to fix it. First my system is as follows:

	Neat 386sx - 16 MHz (motherboard)
	Standard VGA
	AMI Bios 7-7-91 
	Keyboard Controller F
	Maxtor 7080, and 7120 IDE hard drives

    I have boot manager running with DOS 5 and OS/2 each in their own primary
fat partition on the 80 meg drive (7080). That is obviously the master drive.
I have three partitions on the 120 meg drive d: and e: are fat f: is HPFS.
The fat partitions are 40 meg each.
   A couple of weeks ago i was having even more crashes and lockups than I
have now (about 1 a day now). I spoke to an IBM rep in Boca for about an hour.
He suggested that I make all my partitions fat (at that time my OS/2 partition
was HPFS) which I did. His reasoning was that there SEEMED to be problem with
HPFS and IDE hard drives, I agree because after I went to fat my problems were
reduced quite a bit. I was able to get the system to crash during a couple of 
lockups and it gave a location error (I don't have it with me now) and said
Device Driver Exception IMBS506$. Since then I have replaced that driver 
with the IBMINT13.I13 driver (at the reps suggestion). I am still getting 
lockups. 
    The only other suggestion I got from IBM was that my motherboard may 
have to be replaced. I am a college student so I would like to avoid this 
option as I have already spent about 1,000 dollars in upgrades this summer.
    Has anyone had similar problems and how were they fixed if at all?
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for a fix? I really like OS/2 but
I need to be more reliable.

		Thanks, Dave

I've gotten my hard disk all setup like I want it and so now I want to
back it up.  I would like something which does compression as its backing
things up. I looked at a program from hobbes called OBACKUP, but i had
little luck getting itt to work. I'm running OS/2 V2.0. I started OBACKUP
in a full screen session. I was able to mbackup a single file, but
it would always abort (with no messages) when I tried to backup the entire
drive. I am sure I was following the instructions correcly. Has anyone
else got this program to run? Or are there other backup programs which
do compression?

They were obviously reduced to 16 colors with the color palette of the
IBM 8514/A adapter, since they look not so bad on such a system. They
are really ugly on a XGA system (I have 8514/A at home and XGA in the office,
so I could compare). It therefore seems that even the first 16 colors in the
palettes are different, which I'm pretty shure is a bug in one of the
drivers.

You might want to make sure that you have the com port set correctly under
PCPlus and that it is not conflicting with another port.  The port must be
set right in the general settings, not just for a particular dial entry.
Also, if you have an internal modem on COM4 (for example) and an I/O card on
COM2 they will conflict in OS/2's eyes even if nothing is attached to COM2.

If this doesn't work, try Tim Sipples' FAQ to configure the COM ports with
the MODE command.  It's available at FTP-OS2.NMSU.EDU

Hope that this helps.

A couple of weeks ago, several articles referring to an OS/2 application
called Spice appeared here.  I posted a follow-up article that quoted
part of the discussion and then asked "What is Spice?".

Ever since then, I've been receiving e-mail from people who apparently
think that I was the author of the text I quoted.  Some of them ask me
for information about Spice, and others ask me to mail them copies.
I've tried to reply politely to each one of these messages, but it's
beginning to get on my nerves, to say the least.

Please stop!  I have no information about Spice, nor do I have copies.
Asking me about it is a waste of your time, my time, and network
bandwidth.  And, in the future, please *look* at the articles you read,
and notice the difference between what is said and what is merely
quoted.

Thank you.

Can you substantiate the 'bug free' claims you refer to here?  I can't
say for sure that I EVER heard IBM make a claim of 'bug free'.  They
did say that it was heavily beta tested, and that it made a deadline,
but I think the 'bug free' claim may be  a rumor started here on the net.

Just as an aside, I liked Screen Peace for Windows, and still do!  So far, it's
the best screen saver running under OS/2 that I've found...  It's in my startup

unless you explictly SHOW Screen Peace and put the little window in the corner

I know people are upset because Pournelle is just does some really dumb
things at times but in reality, he does things that other users tend to do.
 My biggest problem with his columns isn't that he makes mistakes but when
they do occur he gets the VENDORS to come out and fix them.  The average
Joe User doesn't get this level of support.  When Jerry's columns initially
came out, he was forced to go through the same help lines that "Joe User"
has to go through.  Now that is column is popular, he gets special
treatment and that (IMHO) detracts from the usefulness (and humor) of his
columns.

I have heard that Wing Commander II should run fine under OS/2, but I am
having trouble.  I can play for a while, until I die or complete a mission
and then OS/2 gives me an error.  I don't remember they sysxxxx number, but
it means an illegal 386 instruction was issued.  At first I beleived the 
problem had to do with an error in WC2, as I had to make a copy of one of
the original disks because it had errors and would not install.  Then I loaded
WC2 on a DOS machine and it worked fine.
BTW, while WC2 is running under OS/2 it is faster.  The disk access is much
faster with HPFS than with FAT.
If anybody has any suggestions, could you please send them to me.

Again, ONLY the low and double density Mac disks utilize the variable

of the drive (hence the reason you can buy a cheap Teac SCSI HD drive
and use it as a superdrive on the mac...of course, it won't read DD and LD
disks, but who cares?).  We should be able to use HD disks in our drives
