- The OS/2 Technical Support Staff feels your system
- initialization files (INI) have been damaged. This can be
- caused by:
-
- - improper system shutdown
- - power surges
- - hardware problems
- - improper INI updates by applications or OS/2
-
- The two files involved are the OS2.INI and the OS2SYS.INI
- located in the \OS2 directory on your boot partition.
-
- Print object settings are stored in the OS2SYS.INI file.
- When a problem exists with the way these settings are
- stored you could run into problems such as:
-
- - incorrect printer settings info
- - multiple drivers selected in the Printer Driver Tab
- - multiple ports selected in the Output Tab
- - can no longer print after previous printing
- - invalid object under the Set Default listing
-
- PLEASE NOTE: If you backed up your INI files immediately
- before the problem occurred AND you have not changed your
- configuration much since then, you can replace the current
- files with the backup set after booting off your OS/2
- installation disk, inserting DISK 1 when prompted, then
- escaping to an A: prompt after the "Welcome To OS/2"
- screen appears. Make sure you replace BOTH the OS2.INI and
- the OS2SYS.INI at the same time. If you experience
- problems when booting back up you should then recreate your
- INI files from scratch as shown below.
-
- If you do not have a backup set or the backup is too old,
- the best way to resolve this problem is to recreate new INI
- files. The following procedure assumes you have either
- OS/2 2.0 or OS/2 2.1 on your system:
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: All customization of the Workplace Shell
- will be lost after completion of these steps.
-

- 3. Press ESC at the "Welcome To OS/2" screen to get

- 4. Place Diskette 2 in Drive A:
- 5. Type "CHKDSK x:/F" (where x: is the OS/2 boot
- drive) NOTE: If the partition is formatted for HPFS
- then issue the following command instead: "CHKDSK x:
- /F:2" If you receive any errors then run the above
- command again.
- 6. Change to the OS/2 boot drive (c:, d:, etc.)
