- Just getting started with os2... had it running real good, too,
- but forgot how I got my mouse to work. It's a logitech 6.1; it works
- great with dos5.0 & all my dos software.
-
- Along comes a negative power surge while i'm doing Full Dos Window.
-
- When the power comes back on, I try to resume FDW, but find a gray
- screen with multicolor blinking "characters", so I shredded the Full
- Dos Window, and tried to reinstall os2. But it no longer remembers,
- nor do I, how to get the mouse working.
-
- Any ideas? How do you guys decode the mystery error messages on
- boot up? Is there really any other documentation than the 5 shiny covered
- books?
-
- regards, pete
