- Story: I was messing around with the .INI files to try and make them smaller
- OS2SYS.INI was 1.5MB...
- I used SHOWINI to copy the INI files. I then added CALL=CMD.EXE to the end of
- CONFIG.SYS and shut down <<-- I think this is the cause of the problem.
-
- when CME.EXE appeared, I copied the 'new' INI files over the old ones, and
- renamed the old ones as backups.
-
- Then I exited from CMD.EXE, PM desktop appears (without any icons !) and the
- following message box:
-
- 1652 " " <<-- title of message box !!
-
- Message
- SHLERR_MESSAGE_NOT_FOUND
- not found
-
- OK Cancel Help
-
-
- Pressing help does nothing
- Pressing OK or Cancel causes a CMD.EXE window to appear, and the message box
- pops up again. If I press OK, I get another CMD.EXE, and so on.
-
- I can start PM apps from the command line, so presumable PMSHELL.EXE is working.
-
- I eventually got my desktop back using WPSBKUP (fortunately !).
-
- What I want to know is:
- What does this error message mean ?
- What caused it ?
- Will it happen again if I use the above method to change INI files ?
- If so, how to I keep my INI files small ? I *hate* booting from floppies !
