Write your reply.

assistant: No ! Win32s is an add-on for Windows 3.1x, it is released by Microsoft, and
there is no "OS/2 version". The last version of Win32s that will work with
Warp out of the box is 1.15. There is a technically beta (but in my
experience, very stable) VW32S.SYS driver for OS/2 which will let it run
Win32s 1.25b.

Write your reply.

assistant: No file need to be changed but you will need to tell the BIOS.
When you turn the computer on after installing the new drive press the DEL
key and hold it untill you see the BIOS setup screen, In there you will find
a setting for A and B floppy drives. Tell it that you have a 1.44 connected
to A or B what ever you choose save the setting and reboot.
PS :  Some computers have differant ways of invoking the Bios setup so the
DEL key on startup may not work but it is the most common.

You can't have anything in OS/2 that is currently using the sound card,
(and vice versa) and sometimes you have to install/re-install the driver
under WIN-OS2.
One program, DOOM I think, was able to play the sound but not the FX.
This was in a VDM, however.
I am using OS/2 2.1, FWIW.

    I am running OS/2 Warp on a 486 Dx/2 50 MHz system with 20 megs of

fax working correctly...I would like to use a Windows program called
Winfax because that is what I am used to.  The problem is that Winfax
will only fax ONE page of a multiple page document.  I have OS/2 with
the Bonus pack in it with the fax software for OS/2, BUT I can not get
it to work with Microsoft Word, Works, and Wordperfect.  How do you fix
Winfax to work or how do I get the native OS/2 fax program to show up in
my word processors under printer selections like Winfax?
PLEASE HELP!

Write your reply.

programs or sound for OS/2 programs.  In fact, running under OS/2, I
can have an OS/2 program and a Win-OS/2 session playing sounds at the
same time.
I'm using Warp for Windows, and it was necessary to go back and
re-enable Windows sounds after the OS/2 installation.  I'm afraid I
don't remember the step-by-step stuff right now, though.

assistant: I've had a somewhat similar problem running DOS games under Warp.  Try
switching windows over and over again and see if that helps...A few of the
DOS games I've tried, will, for some reason, freeze up until I do that.
Also, go into the DOS Session Settings, and check the IDLE_SECONDS and
IDLE_SENSITIVITY settings...  set IDLE_SECONDS to 60, and IDLE_SENSITIVITY to
100%...  That should stop Warp from taking time slices away from the game...
I *had* to do this for a few things, ie my board, otherwise it'd be sitting

Hi Jason, I have gotten the bundled fax program, Faxworks, to work fine with

Hi Jason,
Have you tried setting up a printer selection within

If you do this, then you should be able to print to that selection and

fine.  Select the FaxWorks printer object to activate it and select
Printer Setup (under Fax), then highlight FxPrint and select Job
Properties to be sure it is configured correctly.  The help is adequate

I know this works because I have my system set up to capture output this

make sure the print driver for FaxWorks is also on LPT3, and when you print
