- I recently found it necessary to reinstall OS2 V2 on the following system:
-
- 486/33 with 8MB RAM & 200MB IDE HD, AMI BIOS.
-
- First, the original OS2 V2 was deinstalled by:
-
- 1. Removing these directories: "OS2", "OS!2_2.0_D", "SPOOL", and "PSFONTS".
-
- 2. Deleting hidden files: "EA DATA. SF", "WP ROOT. SF", "OS2BOOT",
- "OS2KRNL", and "OS2LDR".
-
- 3. Restoring AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
-
- I reinstalled the DUAL BOOT configuration and have had 3 proplems ever
- since:
-
- 1. Whenever I attempt to start a DOS application from a DOS WINDOW or
- DOS FULL SCREEN I get the following error:
-
- SYS005 (some kind of protection error)
-
- 2. All icons for migrated MS Windows applications in the Windows folder
- look alike -- like windows. Although they were migrated from MSW 3.1,
- and hence won't run, in my previous OS2 installation they maintained their
- regular Windows icon appearance (e.g. Calc looked like a calculator).
-
- 3. When I try to run Windows applications that worked in the previous
- OS2 installation (e.g. Clock), I get this error (related to 1. above?)
-
- DOS error 5
-
- I would appreciate any advice, thank you.
