At work we have an OS/2 network using Lan Server.  I recently installed
the CSD thinking that our network would become MORE stable.  Rather, I
had 2-3 crashes a day of our domain controller plus numerous crashes
on the other machines.  WordPerfect 5.1 seemed to generate the most problems
where before the CSD it rarely caused any faults at all.  Finally, I had
to reformat all of the system partitions on all of the machines and
re-install OS/2 GA along with all of the patches that floated across the
net.  I was eager to use the CSD, but it was WAY too unstable.  Strange,
though, but my home machine with the CSD installed gives no problems
what-so-ever, but maybe I haven't found them yet?

Good luck on solving your problems - I'd rather stay with the monster
I know than a new unstable one.  (At least my 800x600 Trident drivers work
with the old one.)
