When I ran AD 2.0, I got this:
GPF in SPALLETTE.DLL at 0003:0395
I get this every time I run Win-OS/2 (in enhamced mode) on a DX2-66 w/16MB
Ram and a ET4K card at 1024×768 seamless.
IBM – I hope that you know about this.
PS: So far I have had NO trouble with this program under Win-OS/2 3.0 in the
OS/2 2.0 GA or GA+SP.

Well I tried to see if it was merely the 3.1 enhanced compatibility of
Win-OS/2 3.1 that gave the GPF. SO I ran it in standard mode Win-OS/2
and look –
AD caused a GPF in module GLODE.AD
at location 0002:2206
I was running the Planetside thingy ….
SO far, no problems with the GA+SP of OS/2 2.0.

Anybody tried to rename the Minimized Windows Viewer in OS/2 2.1 March Beta?
I wanted to give it a german name, but after renaming the windows was and kept
empty, although i had minimized windows and produced some more.
How can i fix that problem?

Netland,
I just recently installed the 2nd release of IBM’s 8514/A video drivers and
now I’m having problems running and kind of Windows 3.1 programs. I’m
running the March ’93 beta OS 2.1 with an ATI Graphics Vantage.
When I open a seemless windows program, everything is fine until I exit the
application. As soon as I exit, the screen goes black, as if it went into
a full screen dos session. No cursor, no nothin. Ctrl+Esc does not work.
Sometimes I can do a ctrl+alt+del and disk activity occurs followed by a
reboot. Sometimes it takes a reset to get going again, followed of course
by disk checks.
I figured right away the new drivers were at fault, so I went back to the
1st Beta 8514/A video drivers. Same problem. The only other things it
might be is the latest m21shp patches, or possibly the latest tcpip, pmx,
nfs, and x.25 CSD’s, although I doubt it is the tcpip CSD’s. I can’t think
of any other CSD’s or patches.
ATI has just released their drivers, but they don’t support seamless
windows, plus there only 16-bit drivers. I would like to avoid having to
resort to these as an interim.
Has anybody experienced this problem? Anyone have any suggestions on the
culprit? By the way, we are experiencing this on a similar machine, except
the video card is an ATI Graphics Ultra. Same patches, same CSD’s.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to run cc:Mail for Windows under WIN-OS/2, but I
am having some difficulty. I leave cc:Mail minimized so
that it may notify me when I get a new message. Unfortunately,
the way it notifies me is by crashing WIN-OS/2 and more than
likely bringing OS/2 down with it. I get the same problem running
OS/2 2.0GA and OS/2 2.0GA+SP.
Anybody else get this stuff?

I remember the time where I couldn’t understand why a REXX script
that I wrote was hanging at a certain place on my HD …
The error was that I had an ascii-130 (e with an accent) in a filename

I’ve had two problems with running Windows word processors under Win-OS/2 3.1
(Dec. beta), specifically CA-Textor and Word for Windows: With both of these
programs, Win-OS/2 will frequently (though not invariably, even under the same
apparent conditions) crash when I try to print a document. It doesn’t crash
OS/2 itself, of course, but is annoying anyway. Usually, I can restart and try
again, and this time it’ll work. Very odd!
The second problem is only with WfW, and it’s an old one I think; WfW running
under Win-OS/2 can’t see any fonts, or in fact any style tools–in fact the
drop-down menus don’t even appear! No problem under DOS…
Other than that, I love OS/2, and CA-Textor will have an OS/2 version out "any
day now"…Here’s hoping!
Cheers,
Locutus.

I seem to have found a slight conflict between the INETD and Logitech(sp?)
mouse driver.
Whenever I start up INETD using the Startup.cmd, my Mouse Systems mouse goes
crazy. I am unable to get the little shadow box to move from one icon to the
next. When I double click on any object, the object that has the little
shadow box gets started instead. Also, to display the popup menu for an
object, I must set the mouse settings to display it with a double click. If
I choose single click, then nothing happens.
Workarounds: Sometimes, when I would startup the mouse settings and then
click on every option, the mouse would start working. But, this wouldn’t
always work. For a permanent fix, I had to remove the startup.cmd file so
that INETD wouldn’t start. Then, after the desktop is fully loaded, I can
manually start up INETD. I tried placing the startup.cmd into the startup
folder, but that didn’t work.
I have installed the latest CSDs for the network, and I have also used the
bmouse fix for the mouse driver.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

I have never tried to "rename" it, and I do not think that you can.
However, in 2.0GA, the December Beta, and now the March Beta, I have
always changed the "title" to "MinDows". Has always worked fine.
I just call up the settings notebook, go to the General page and
change the Title in the appropriate area. The Title on the screen
changes as soon as I move the focus from the title area on the
notebook page. And it works just like a Minimized Windows Viewer
should (but the title fits UNDER the icon rather than eating a large
amount of desktop).

I’m pretty sure I have all the latest patches.
#1 problem:
I’ve had problems with minimizing and restoring DOS text programs that
I’ve run directly from an icon. With Telemate, if I press Alt-Esc to
get out of the full-screen mode, and then go back, the screen is
blank. Then if I make it into a window, it’s a bunch of graphic
garbage. Also, Norton Utilities (the menu) gets blinking text that was
supposed to be high-intensity, when I do the same thing. The funny
thing is, though, that if I go manually into a DOS shell and THEN run
a program, everything is fine.
#2 problem:
This is with Win-OS/2. I just installed AmiPro 3.0, and when I try to
run the Quickstart Tutorial, it says something like "the tutorial will
not run with the large system font installed."
I am running a 486/33, 8MB with an Orchid ProIIs (ET4000) video board
in 1024×768 NI mode.
Suggestions?
