Hi Allen, This message is usally part of an install script rather than an application itself. It can usually be ignored. Simply ensure the VW32S.SYS driver is loaded in CONFIG.SYS. You might feel more comfortable with the 1.25 driver that has been in beta, rather than the 1.15 driver that shipped with Warp. This will provide all the genuine functions available in 1.30. Any application that won't run with that won't run under either WIN-OS2 or Windows NT. Regards Dave * KWQ/2 1.2i * 186,000/mps. It's not just a good idea.

The sound signifying closure is played, but the program manager remains active, and I have to use PMPatrol to kill it. What could cause this behavior, and how can I fix it?

I was speaking of the DPATH and LIBPATH in the OS/2 config.sys file, as well as the LIBPATH in autoexec... And yes, I have had systems that couldn't find a specific DLL file in spite of the fact that they were parked in the directory that the DLL resided during execution -- one reason to begin most path type environment variables with the '.\' directory, to begin the search in the directory of origin.

The more power Bill gets, the more pressure he can put on other companies to more-or-less do his bidding; and the more that they go along with him, the more powerful he gets.
