- Here are my experiences with the service pak installed over
- an American version of OS/2 2.0. My system level is now
- 2.01.1, so I think I applied the correct version of the SP.
-
- 1.) I cannot print anymore. I have a STAR printer that before
- worked with the IBM Proprinter emulation x24. Now, if I either
- print with emtex using dvidot or simply copy a file to lpt1
- ( the port my printer is connected to), the printer details show
- the jobs as " waiting in queue". Nothing is printed.
- Before applying the CSD everything was fine!
-
- 2.) The CSD upgraded the enhanced editor epm to version 5.51.
- I clicked on it's icon and the editor appeared in full screen.
- Now I cannot get it back to a window. The icon is there in the
- right upper corner, but is has no effect.
-
- 3.) The swapper file gets much bigger than before the CSD.
-
-
- 4.) Shutdown has failed a couple of times since applying the CSD.
- OS/2 now simply tells me to wait but does not come up with the
- message any more that it is save to turn off the machine.
-
- 5.) The emtex previever does not work anymore (v.cmd). It comes up with
- an error message (2045). This did not happen before applying the CSD.
-
-
-
- 6.) I did not notice an improved speed with the new 32-bit graphics engine.
- In fact, it even appears to be slightly slower.
-
-
- I hope someone from IBM will read this!
