OSVIQVDS - SYS0008 STARTING DOS SESSION AFTER INSTALLING QVISION 2000
VIDEO DRIVER
12/06/96
=======================================================================
SYS0008 Starting DOS Session after Installing QVision 2000 Video Driver
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
Attempting to start a DOS session results in a SYS0008 error message
and the session does not start. WIN-OS/2 sessions are also unable to
start. This occurs after installing the QVision 2000 Video Drivers for
a Compaq system. This problem does not occur on OS/2 Warp version 3.
RESOLUTION
There are two possible workarounds:
1. Open an OS/2 Window or Full Screen Session.
Type E CONFIG.SYS, then press Enter.
Change the DEVICE=...\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS
statement to DEVICE=...\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS.
This allows DOS and WIN-OS/2 sessions to start in VGA mode.
2. Use the VSVGA.SYS from OS/2 Warp version 3.
This allows DOS and WIN-OS/2 sessions to start.
This file is not available publicly. It can be obtained
from a system running OS/2 Warp Version 3, by contacting
technical support, or by unpacking the bundle DOS from the
OS/2 Warp Version 3 Diskette 3 into a temporary directory
and then copying it over to the \OS2\MDOS directory.
To unpack the bundle, type:
UNPACK DOS X:\TEMP, then press Enter.
(where X:\TEMP is the path to a temporary directory)
The OS/2 Warp 4 level of VSVGA.SYS is not compatible
with this chipset.
