- welp, after messing around with the 2.1 beta, i have deleted it from the
- hard disk, reformatted and gone back to what i have found to be the best
- version of OS/2 so far, the first beta to include Win 3.1 support. (yeah, i
- know that this is prob. expired, but it is temporary).
- my main problems with the beta were these:
- -my diamond SpeedStar 24X Windows 3.1 drivers were uninstallable. I tried
- to install them with both the original 24setup.exe program AND the
- 24setup.exe that comes with the new beta and to no avail -- it would crash
- consistently with the error trap:000d location ##0160:fff60967-000d:9967
- 60000, 9084
- 038600d1
- internal revision 6.479, 92/12/9

- another problem i had was that OS/2 kinda seemed to just come unravelled..
- what i mean by that is this: it coul not locate some of its files any
- longer, in particular, when i would start up a OS/2 full screen session, i
- would get the message "could not locate Command Processor in the specified
- path."
-
- I guess tha tthis means that OS/2 could not find CMD.exe but i checked the
- comspec and it was correct and cmd.exe was in the correct place.. go
- figure. sure was mystifying. (and still is as a matter of fact -- even
- though i have gone back to the previous OS/2, i am still getting this durn
- error !! what is the deal?? i re partitioned the disk that i keep OS/2 on
- s there should be no trace of it on ther!!!)
-
- -how DOES one delete the *. SF files on your harddisk?? i tried under OS/2
- and it would have none of that. I then tried under native dos from a floppy
- and it would not recognize these as valid deleteable files. i think that my
- *. sf file or whatever keeps the extended attributes for my other data hard
- disk is corrupt. this could be why my desk top seems to kinda creep back
- to my old, old, old desktop setup (colors and such) from when i first
- started with OS/2.. how annoying to boot up and find your color scheme
- altered slightly each time..
-
- am i just going crazy or are these real bugs??
- and how the heck and i supposed to get the WD90C31 drivers to work with my
- SpeedStar 24X?? do the work?? no one seems to know.
