- Humor us. Try replacing your RAM with a set from a different system,
- preferably one known to run OS/2 with no problems.

- Al is not the only one who has seen TRAP 0002s be memory problems. That goes
- for everyone here, including IBM. OS/2 is known to be a torture test for
- memory. Other programs, including what were thought to be heavy-duty
- diagnostics, have been known to run properly on systems where OS/2 had TRAP
- 0002s which were cured by replacing RAM.
