- Yes - I have had the same problem - after I installed the Service Pack
- within six days my OS2SYS.INI had grew to 4.25 MB. I used a COPYINI to
- reduce the size of the file down to 200K, but it has started to grow
- again, 200K yesterday and 148K today so far. I have not reported this
- to IBM yet.
-
- I am running GA with SP on a 386-33, with 8MB and ATI ULTRA. I suspect
- it is a problem with using 16 bit drivers with the 32bit GRE.
