- When I installed OS/2 a couple of weeks ago, Wordperfect migrated
- automatically and ran without any problems. Since then, I've
- installed the service pack and done a few things to the CONFIG.SYS
- (most notably, setting DOS=HIGH,UMB). Now when I try to run it, I get
- an error. Wordperfect asks me if I have another copy of Wordperfect
- currently running. Then it says I have an old backup, would I like to
- delete it? Then I get the OS/2 "an error has occured" message and the
- app ends.
-
- Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Any way to fix it? I
- already tried deleting and re-migrating the file: this didn't help. I
- also ran CHKDSK, but nothing came of it.
-
- Please respond via email.

- Thanks
