- I agree with you (that you should reformat). I installed the beta last week
- and OS/2 crashes on me if I try to multitask two DOS apps. Win-OS/2 also just
- crashes.
-
- Question- I'll gladly format and reinstall, but how can I keep my GA+SP desktop?
- I've got WPSBackup but is it safe to restore the 2.0 desktop (w/ INI files)
- over the 2.1 one? I really don't want to deal with going through all the
- customization again.
-
- E-mail would be preferred, but a followup is OK.
