Windows apps won't run, despite the : claims that they will. ---You don't say whether you are using dual boot, but if so, this is a bug in OS/2 v3.0. Installation of OS/2 corrupts Windows. It's possible to restore Windows, where it will run from DOS, but it still won't run from the OS/2 desktop. If you'd post details, I'm sure somebody could help with this. What's your hardware setup, and what symptoms do you get when you try to run (error messages, system lockup, cross-hatched icon but no program, etc.)? : Doom II won't recognize my GUS, which is pointless to Probably there's some DOS setting to allow this, but I'm not an expert on either DOS settings or Doom II. I think there was a thread on Doom II recently. : go to Warp when I can just use my slow DOS. Currently, there's nothing that : Warp can do for me that I can't do with DOS. I'm sure there is, but of course whether these things are important to you is another matter. : That's why I'm selling my Warp. My price is $70 (shipping via Priority Mail : included). This is the CD-ROM version, by the way; and also the Bonus Pack is included. SoftMart is selling it for just under $70 (plus shipping). Egghead is reputed to have it for $75. IMHO, your asking price is high for used software. : Too bad I can't return the stupid product; otherwise I won't have to post this. I believe you can return it. At least, IBM had a full-return policy on OS/2 2.1, though I don't yet have my copy of 3.0 to check this out for 3.0.
