- Hello,
- Now this dreaded bug has caught me. My system does not shut down anymore.
- The interesting thing is that there are no apps running (the window list
- shows the desktop only). The os2.ini must be corrupted in some way. I
- used the ini file from the install directory temporarily and shutdown
- worked. But I do *not* like to lose all the setup work I've done over
- the last weeks!
-
- I leave the system with the three finger salute, with the effect that the
- desktop layout changes made in the session get lost. Sigh!
-
- Is there a way to clean up the ini files while keeping important setup
- values?
-
- Thanks for any help.
- Hermann
