3.7.2 Uninstalling OpenDoc Multimedia for OS/2

   To uninstall OpenDoc Multimedia for OS/2 from your system, you have to 
   perform the following steps: 

    ___ Note _______________________________________________________________  
   |                                                                        | 
   | These steps will remove all mulitmedia code from your system, not only | 
   | the OpenDoc related code.                                              | 
   |                                                                        | 
   |________________________________________________________________________| 


   1.  Open an OS/2 command prompt session (full-screen or windowed). 

   2.  Change to the \MMOS2\INSTALL directory on the drive where MMOS2 is 
       installed. 

   3.  Execute DINSTSND.CMD to uninstall system sounds.  You will get a 
       message indicating to reboot the machine.  Ignore this message and 
       continue. 

   4.  Execute INSTMMVW.CMD -R to deregister all multimedia objects. 

   5.  Edit your CONFIG.SYS file and remove all references to MMOS2.  You 
       will have to modify at least your PATH, LIBPATH, DPATH, HELP, 
       BOOKSHELF and eliminate all DEVICE sentences pointing to the MMOS2 
       directory (see Figure 113).  (This is an example, the actual lines 
       will depend on the multimedia hardware installed on your machine.) 
       You also need to delete the SET NCDEBUG=4000 sentence. 


 

     LIBPATH=D:\MMOS2\DLL; 
     SET PATH=D:\MMOS2; 
     SET DPATH=D:\MMOS2;D:\MMOS2\INSTALL; 
     SET HELP=D:\MMOS2\HELP; 
     SET BOOKSHELF=D:\MMOS2; 

     SET MMBASE=D:\MMOS2; 
     SET DSPPATH=D:\MMOS2\DSP; 
     SET NCDEBUG=4000 
     DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\SSMDD.SYS 
     DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\R0STUB.SYS 
     DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\VCSHDD.SYS

   6.  Delete the Multimedia folder from your Desktop and all its contents. 
       You will get the confirmation window shown in Figure 114. Select the 
       Yes to All option to confirm all deletions.

   7.  Reboot the machine. 

   8.  Delete all files and subdirectories contained in the MMOS2 directory. 
       Finally delete the MMOS2 directory itself. 

   9.  Delete the Audio, MIDI, Image and Video templates from the Templates 
       folder as they will not function after removing multimedia support.
