This note is for users of OS/2 Warp who find that use of SCAN.EXE causes
the THDPRO.EXE (or other) window to close without any apparent reason.
My "first" solution is to use the OS/2 native version of THD ProScan
(version 12 or later) and the native OS/2 version of McAfee's VirusScan.
However if for some reason you MUST use the dos version, try this...
After much investigation, I must admit I am unable to figure out "why"
SCAN 2.?.? closes an OS/2 session.
However, I have found, that for some unknown reason, I am able to stop it
from doing so if I run "SCAN *.*". After running this in an OS/2 window,
SCAN.EXE thereafter seems to work fine. In turn THDPRO.EXE has no difficulty
running it without the window closing.
If the window (or session) is closed and then opened again, you will need
to run scan.exe in the newly opened window (session) in order prevent SCAN.EXE
from closing it.
This has proven to be the case on my system for both a VDM and a dos
session. I cannot however guarantee it will work for everyone else.
Other's have reported "some" success by changing their DOS=HIGH statement
in their config.sys file (some loading dos high and others not, some using the
UMB some not). There seems to be no pattern to this and there are also no
guarantees. The most common sucessful setting is DOS=HIGH,UMB.
At least ome user has suggested that the problem was fixed by applying the
IBM FIXPACK #10 to his copy of WARP. I have not been able to verify this.
The alternate solution is to use the OS/2 native version of THD ProScan
(version 12 or later) and the native OS/2 version of McAfee's VirusScan.
