- It is recommended, highly, that you reformat before installing the 2.1Beta.
-
- But...try copying gdi.exe to os2gdi.exe in your \os2\mdos\winos2\system
- directory.
- OR...I found a line in my SYSTEM.INI (\os2\mdos\winos2) that said:
-
- os2gdi.exe=gdi.exe
-
- Try one of those... I recommend the latter, if you don't mind editing the
- file...
