I moved my Windows 3.1 directory from C:\WINDOWS to E:\WINDOWS after installing Warp Connect 3.0 red box. Now, I'm having trouble installing audio and video driver support for Win-OS2 because they are still looking to place their Win-OS2 drivers in C:\WINDOWS. I am looking for a way to manually edit my OS/2 configuration files to change the drive reference from C: to E:. Here is what I've tried so far: (1) Editing CONFIG.SYS TO ensure that that E:\WINDOWS is in my PATH=, DPATH, and LIBPATH statements and that there are no references to C:\WINDOWS. Did the same with AUTOEXEC.BAT PATH statement. (2) I noticed that OS2.INI has an entry PM_INSTALL with key WINOS_LOCATION set with the value C:\WINDOWS. I changed this value to E:\WINDOWS using the INITOR program, saved and rebooted, but still the installation programs looks to drive C:. There must be some other setting that I'm missing because the above doesn't fix the problem. Any advice is appreciated. // Paul Saletan ** Please remove NOJUNKMAIL from address when replying
