- DESQview 2.0 Technical Note
-
- Dear DESQview User,
-
- We believe the problem you are encountering with speaker beeps
- and a system hang when starting up DESQview is a problem covered
- the the READ.ME file on the DESQview disk as follows:
-
- ***** "/OK" Command Line Parameter
-
- DESQview 2.0 supports the IBM Enhanced keyboard and tests for its
- presence when it starts up. On some IBM compatibles with old
- style keyboards, this test fails. If you cannot type to DESQview
- when the menu comes up, or if the computer just "beeps" a lot,
- use the command "DV /OK" to start up DESQview. This specifies
- the "Old Keyboard" and bypasses the keyboard test.
-
- This problem will not generally occur on any IBM machine, but
- there have been a few isolated cases where the presence of a
- resident program that is trapping the keyboard will cause this
- same problem. In those cases, you must either remove the
- resident program or run DESQview with the "/OK" parameter.
-
- Note: For the purpose of clearity in print, the /OK parameter is
- typed as the letter "O" followed by a "K" as in "Old Keyboard",
- not a "0" as in "zero-K".
