- Hi all:
-
- I've been having a minor problem that is just taxing my patience: When
- I run a Windows application under OS/2 (seamless; using WinOS2) for some
- reason when I exit the application OS/2 often seems to think that the
- application continues to run (the icon has the cross-hatches on it
- indicating the icon is active).
-
- Then when I go to shut down the system, I get prompted if I really
- want to exit without saving data in the Windows session(s) first
- (which of course, I did, a long time ago). Of course the only way to
- shutdown is to confirm -- but then all these Windows apps get loaded
- automatically the next time I boot OS/2.
-
- A minor pain in the butt, which I would like solved if at all possible.
- I am temporarily without read-access to the OS/2 groups, please respond
- via e-mail, I shall summarize if response dictates.
-
- Thanks in advance.
