- Hi freaks,
-
- Since the last week I have a(nother) strange bug on my system (486/33, AMI, 16MB
- ADAPTEC 1542B, WINTARGA (ET4000)):
-
- Sometimes, only sometimes, my boot sequence does not finish! After displaying my
- desktop background bitmap and before displaying all desktop objects (folders,
- printers, shredder etc) the system halts, waits about 30 seconds and displays a
- message box called: "OS!2 2.0 Desktop does not respond, <OK> <Abort>".
-
- If I press <OK> the display clears, bitmap-earth disappears, a few more seconds
- pass by and bitmap re-appears, desktop objects appear but neither the folders do
- open, nor programs contained in the startup folder do run.
-
- If I press <abort> nothing happens.
-
- Since I have changed my whole configuration during the last days (patches
- installed, desktop rearrangement etc) I cannot fix the change responsible for
- this ugly bug.
-
- Does anybody know a reason (and a solution ) for it???
-
- affie.
