- Do you happen to have a second video card (MDA, perhaps?)? I had the same
- problem with the SP install.
-
- Since I have a VGA (actually, SVGA) card, my solution was to boot either
- from floppy or another partition (DOS would work, but you're using
- HPFS like I am...). Change your directory to your C:\OS2 (where C:
- is your OS/2 boot drive). Put the display driver 1 disk (13 of the
- service pack) into drive A:. Then run UNPACK on the following files:
- A:IBMVGA32.DL_
- A:DSPRES.DL_
- A:WINVGA
- A:VGA
-
- This should do it, if you have VGA. I'm not sure about XGA or others, but
- I would suspect that something similar will need to be done.
