Installing Software for OS/2 Warp

This section describes how to install OS/2 Warp with DOS and Windows, and OS/2 ThinkPad device drivers in your computer.

Important
Before reinstalling the operating system and device drivers, create the installation diskettes using the Diskette Factory program (a diskette backup program that is preloaded on your computer). In particular, you must create the OS/2 Warp Video Fix Diskette to avoid video problems you might encounter while installing OS/2 Warp Version 3.

The following shows the software already installed at the time of purchase. For your computer to work as it did at the time of purchase, install all of this software:

• Install OS/2 Warp
  ( With the CD-ROM device driver) > "Before Installing OS/2 Warp".

• Install the ThinkPad Features program > "Installing the ThinkPad Features Program for OS/2".

• Install the PC Card Director > "Installing the PC Card Director for OS/2".

• Install one of the following:

  • 
    Mwave support software > "Installing the Mwave DSP Support Software for OS/2"
    or

  • 
    ESS AudioDrive support software > "Installing the ESS AudioDrive Support Software for OS/2".

• Install the Infrared device driver > "Installing the Infrared Device Driver for OS/2".

• Install the ThinkPad display driver > "Installing the ThinkPad Display Device Driver for OS/2".

• 
  Install the Enhanced video and MPEG device driver
  > "Installing the Enhanced Video/MPEG Device Driver for OS/2".

Before Installing OS/2 Warp

During the installation of OS/2 Warp using the OS/2 Warp Diskette 1, the installation stops at the OS/2 logo screen and does not move beyond the screen. This is because the ESS AudioDrive feature in the computer uses the I/O address 330h (for the MIDI port), where a Sony(**) CD-ROM device driver in the OS/2 Warp Diskette 1 accesses to detect if the following CD-ROM drive is attached to the computer:

• Sony CDU-31A, CDU-7305, CDU-33A, or CDU-7405

To avoid the installation stop, do one of the following, depending on your situation:

• If you are using one of these Sony CD-ROM drives,
  refer to the chapter describing the special hardware considerations in "Special Hardware Considerations" in the User's Guide to OS/2 Warp and read the parameter information for the SONY31A.ADD device driver.

  After that, you might need to disable the ESS audio, or change the ESS audio system resource to avoid any resource conflicts. In that case, start the ThinkPad Features program and register the Sony CD-ROM's resource information. Then set the appropriate resources for the ESS audio in the ThinkPad Features program.

• If you are not using these Sony CD-ROM drives, do the following:

  1. Make a backup copy diskette of the OS/2 Warp Diskette 1.

  2. Open the CONFIG.SYS file in the backup copy diskette using your editor, and comment out the Sony device driver line as follows:

        rem BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD
     

  3. Delete the file SONY31A.ADD from the backup copy diskette.

  4. Install OS/2 Warp using the backup copy diskette you have just created.
