================================================================
* Apply ServicePak to correct problem or download fix from BBS.
Please be sure to obtain the correct ServicePak:
ServicePak for 2.1 GA XR06200
ServicePak for OS/2 for Windows XR06300
* Fix is available on Compuserve and the PCC BBS, (919) 517-0001
for the following problems in a file called:
21WPSF.ZIP.
**SYMPTONS:
1) White desktop with the clock after installing OS/2 2.1 over
another version of OS/2.
2) "shutdown complete" message is displayed underneath the
"shutting down please wait" message.
3) Mass duplication of template objects after creating a shadow.
If you have the white desktop with the environment noted above
it is recommended to get the 21WPSF.ZIP fix from Compuserve or
the PCC BBS.
If you do not have access to a modem the following work around
have had a high success rate.
NOTE: You must boot your system from the Installation Diskettes
prior to using the CHKDSK procedure:
DISKETTE BOOT PROCEDURE
-----------------------
1) Perform shutdown, if you're unable to shutdown, turn off
system for 30 seconds, put Installation Disk in drive A:
2) Turn on computer, or press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart
system.
3) When prompted, remove Installation Disk and insert Disk 1
4) Press ENTER..
5) When the WELCOME SCREEN is displayed, press ESC, to
display command prompt ( A: )
6) Remove Disk 1 and insert Disk 2 (contains CHKDSK command)
CHKDSK PROCEDURE
-----------------
1) Run CHKDSK to correct any hard disk errors
d: is the drive where OS/2 resides
CHKDSK d: /f (for FAT )
CHKDSK d: /f:2 (for HPFS)
See Page 137 in the "Installation Guide" for detailed
instructions on how to run CHKDSK.
2) Check the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file on the root directory for the
following 2 statements. If you have more than one set of
these two statements, REM out the first set in the CONFIG.SYS
file.
SET USER_INI=C:\OS2\xxxxx.INI
SET SYSTEM_INI=C:\OS2\xxxxx.INI
If you do have two sets, EDIT the CONFIG.SYS with any ASCII
EDITOR by either copying the file to a diskette and editing on
another machine or boot up with a DOS diskette and Run EDIT or
EDLIN to "REM" out the duplicate set of SETUSER and SETSYSTEM
lines. (e.g. REM USER_INI=C:\OS2\xxxxx.INI)
