- At this point try a Shutdown. Everytime I have had the Shutdown
- problem, closing all apps so only OS/2 2.0 Desktop is left on the Windows
- List has enabled me to Shutdown. It's as if OS/2 lacks the memory to
- close and save applications, so doing it for it saves it that task
- enabling shutdown.
