I installed 2.1b over my 2.0+sp system last night.  Everything looked fine
until I went to try a Windows program (Excel).  I did the program migration
as previous posters had recommended.  Anyhow, whenever I double clicked on
the Excel icon, the hard disk would be briefly hit, and within 5 seconds or
so, control would be returned to me.  Excel never launched.  I tried other
icons, like the Program Manager, and had the same result.  Vaguely recalling
some mention of the need to Selective Install WIN-OS2 if installing over
an existing system, I proceeded to do that.  All went well, until the scan
of the 19 disk were complete, whereupon it prompted me for both display disk
one and two (only one was asked for during the initial 2.1b install).  After
rebooting, my screen was having serious syncronization problems.  No Windows
apps would run either.  I used DSPINSTL and noted that on the second pass,
2.1b recognised that I had an ATI card (its very old, a 512K original).  I
changed back to standard SVGA mode.  After the third reboot, my screen was
once again behaving, and WIN-OS2 Icons now launched!

One little itty bitty problem remains... (I wish!)  Whenever I now exit from
a WIN-OS2 application (like Excel, or the Program Manager), my system hangs.
The mouse still functions, but the keyboard is dead, and background task
stop (I run a BBS in background, and it hung my caller as well).  This is
rather unfortunetly repeatable.  Any and all suggestions welcome.
