- For Michael Dick:
- Have you tried re-installing OS/2? Insert the installation diskette and cold-
- boot the machine. Then follow the prompts. Did you leave DOS on your disk?
- If so you can book from a bootable DOS diskette, but remember that your fixed
- disk is set for OS/2. You can restore the config.sys and
- and autoexec.bat files for OS/2, if you happen to have copies, by first
- inserting the installation diskette, re-boot, and then follow the prompts to
- the first program disk. Then escape, I think with F3, you are in OS/2 and
- you can copy files from diskettes, etc. Your problem with COM3 has been
- discussed considerably on the Prodigy board and you can find some help there.
- You can also find help and fixes on the IBM NSC BBS whose number is in the
- OS/2 manual. Don't give up. OS/2 really works for me.
