The only common thing I can see is that : when I reboot and chkdsk is run, there is always an allocation fault in : /MMOS2/PLAY.CMD and usually OS2.!!! : Any thoughts? When the system freezes, are you able to Ctrl-Alt-Del? If C-A-D works then everyting should be OK and chkdsk shouldn't run. If you are forced to cold boot then you're likely to get some errors. I don't know what's up with PLAY.CMD, but OS2.!!! seems to have something to do with updating the ini files. OS2.!!! and OS2SYS.!!! are always marked as "in use" (ie. can't be accessed) while the shell is running, so I'm not surprised it gets damaged in a cold boot. Sorry I can't be of more help. -- ------------------------------- OS/2 Warp: Make it so.
