WORKAROUND FOR INSTALLING DRIVERS
Follow the steps below to place a copy of the updated LZEXPAND.DLL
(which is included here as LZEXPAND.NEW) on your hard drive. This
will allow you to install WIN-OS/2 drivers (printers, sound, drivers,
international, etc) after applying the ServicePak on a system
running OS/2 2.1 blue label diskettes.
The instructions assume that the new file provided with this
workaround (LZEXPAND.NEW) is on a diskette in the A: drive. The
instructions also assume that WIN-OS2 is installed on the same
drive as OS/2. If your system is configured differently, please
make sure you the use the appropriate drive references for your
system.
<ENTER> means press the ENTER key.
Follow these steps to place a copy of the updated LZEXPAND.DLL
onto your hard drive:
1. Close all WIN-OS2 sessions
2. Open an OS/2 Fullscreen session
3. Change to the WINOS2\SYSTEM directory by typing:
CD \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM <ENTER>
4. Make a copy of LZEXPAND.DLL by typing:
COPY LZEXPAND.DLL LZEXPAND.ORG <ENTER>
5. Copy LZEXPAND.NEW from the diskette to the hard drive by
typing:
COPY A:\LZEXPAND.NEW <ENTER>
6. Copy LZEXPAND.NEW to LZEXPAND.DLL by typing:
COPY LZEXPAND.NEW LZEXPAND.DLL <ENTER>
7. Exit the OS/2 Fullscreen session, by typing:
EXIT <ENTER>
*******************************************************************
NOTE
*******************************************************************
WIN-OS2 might prompt for the wrong printer driver diskette (this
is a known problem and is already being addressed). In order to
complete a printer installation, continue to insert the three
new printer driver diskettes until WIN-OS2 no longer prompts for
any more diskettes.
If you are updating a driver, it is best to physically delete the
current driver from your hard drive before installing the new one.
If you do not know the driver name, then make sure you choose "New"
when asked if you want to replace the existing driver.
Some applications programs might require the old LZEXPAND file.
You will need to copy LZEXPAND.ORG to LZEXPAND.DLL.
A. Follow steps 1 through 3 above. Then type:
COPY LZEXPAND.ORG LZEXPAND.DLL <ENTER>
B. Switch back to your desktop(CTL+ESC) and complete
the process you were trying to run. You might have
to close WINOS2 and restart it before you can complete
your task. When it is done, switch back to your OS/2
Fullscreen session.
C. Copy LZEXPAND.NEW back to LZEXPAND.DLL by typing:
COPY LZEXPAND.NEW LZEXPAND.DLL <ENTER>
D. Exit the OS/2 Fullscreen session by typing:
EXIT <ENTER>
