- Click on the win-os2 object with the second mouse button.
- Choose "open->settings" in the menu. You will then get a notebook,
- choose the page called "session..."
- On this page there is a button labeled "win-os2 settings". Press it, and you
- will get a scrollable list of settings. One of them should
- be DOS_DPMI_API. (Strange name, DPMI means "Dos Protected Mode Interface",
- so this is "dos dos protected mode interface application program interface").
- Select this setting, and you will be able to set it to enabled, disabled or
- auto. Choose enabled or auto. Also make sure that the DPMI memory limit
- is sufficiently large. 2 or 3 should do, more if you want to run
- memory-hungry windows programs.
