OSWAWARP - OS/2 WARP INFORMATION FOR WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
01/24/96
=======================================================================
OS/2 Warp Information for Windows Applications
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
This document contains updated Windows application information for OS/2
Warp. It includes:
* Answers to frequently asked questions
* Changes made to Windows files by OS/2 Warp
* Intermittent General Protection (GP) faults in Quicken for Windows
Version 4.0
RESOLUTION
Can OS/2 Warp be installed over OS/2 2.1 or 2.11?
Currently, OS/2 Warp can be installed only over OS/2 for Windows,
DOS, or a blank partition. Information regarding the Fullpack release
is not yet available.
My mouse isn't working in WIN-OS/2, but it does work in OS/2 and DOS.
What's wrong?
Check the IRQ settings; there probably is an IRQ conflict between
serial ports. If the mouse is on COM1, disable COM3 or assign it to
another IRQ. You can change the IRQs and
addresses of COM3 and COM4. For example:
x:\OS2\COM.SYS(3.03e8,2)
Note: If you want to use IRQ5, LPT port 2 must be disabled. If you
use IRQ 2 or 9, remember that these are cascaded IRQs.
