- This is my first posting so please excuse any lay-out problems.
- I have a problem with OS/2 2.0 . When I start up my machine and choose
- the OS/2 partition in boot manager, I get as far as my graphic
- background : default white. Then I get a SYS3173 error and a
- menu to end the program or see help. The help says the error
- was a breakpoint generated in pmwp.dll at 1ab25704.
- Choosing end program just regenerated the same error a couple of
- seconds later.
- If anyone is interested in all the registers I will post it, but I
- don't think it will help a lot.
- I was having some problems before this all happened.
- The icons from my desktop didn't appear on startup and the right-button
- menu for the desktop was incomplete : no shutdown option.
- I then did a find on folder objects in my desktop directory and moved
- them back to the desktop. After this I did ctrl-alt-del and got the
- breakpoint. I'd appreciate it if anyone out there could give me any
- suggestions on how to clean up this mess, otherwise I'll just have to
- reinstall everything. By the way this is just the GA edition without
- any patches.

-
- Thank you for any help.

- Disk space, the final frontier.
-
- Please reply by e-mail, because I don't think it's a common problem.
