- Just a note to say that I don't think this problem has anything to do with
- having shadows in the startup folder. One of the first things I did after
- installing os/2 was to shadow the system clock and pulse in the startup
- folder. I have never had any of the symptoms mentioned above. I have been
- running my system that way for at least 6 weeks.
-
- Sorry that I cannot offer some other direction to help solve your difficulty.
