- What I mean by "GA text" is the openning credits screen. The 3 little
- >--OS/2 pics show up then the full screen OS/2 picture (like on the stickers)
- with the IBM copywrite message shows. There is then a 10 second pause
- before it changes to "Loading... ".
-
- This never use to be there. I don't believe it could be the ini files
- at that point since the wps is not being openned yet, and I haven't made
- any changes in the config.sys since before it started.
-
- As a side note, my ini's are both less than 100k.
-
- Thanks for the respose.
