- Are you running DeskPic? I tried deskpic the other day and it crashed my
- system. The reason was that it had filled up my OS/2 partition by
- inflating the OS2.INI to 16MB! Granted it's not the OS2SYS.INI, but you
- might want to check it out. I just checked and my OS2SYS.INI file has
- grown to 600k. Hmmmm.
