- I had similar problems with yowza. When demoing, system locked up a few times,
- lost my mouse pointer once when trying to kill yowza from task list, etc.
- **BUT** let me qualify this by letting you know that I am running the beta (win3.1)
- version of os/2, so its quite possible that its a beta problem and not a yowza
- problem. Anyway, I think I'll give deskpic a try.
