Hi,

I've been having lots of problems installing a number of software
on Warp 4. Basically when installing some windows and OS2 SW the
installation will fail or the installed program will be corrupted
in some way.  

At first I thought it might be my FDD, so I changed it, but the same
thing occurred.  So I tried installing the same windows SW on WFW 3.11 
on the same machine and this seem to go fine, hence I concluded that
the problem is not HW.

The wierd thing is if I copy the disk to the ZIP drive attached to
the machine, the install is successful in Warp 4.  I've also noticed
that files copied to the A drive of the Warp 4 machine is regularly being
corrupted.

Has anyone come across this problem before,and maybe have an idea of
a solution?

BTW I have Fixpack 1 installed and when I had Warp 3.0 installed on the
machine I had no such problems.

Cheers,
Randy
