- applications was performed during install of OS/2 2.1
- when Advanced Options window was presented.
-
- 2. Upgrade from OS/2 2.0 to 2.1 was not successful which
- can be determined partly by going into WIN-OS/2 full
- screen settings and checking the PATH and FILENAME statement
- for WINOS2.COM. Or, applications launched, but not all
- functions are available after several remigrations or even
- reinstallations. This procedure applies when WIN-OS/2

- within Program Manager may hang and/or switching between
- Program Manager and the OS/2 desktop is problematic.
