HELP!!!! I just tried to install OS/2 on my 486-66 clone. Everything went fine until it finished reading the Display Driver #1 diskette. Then it said something like: Insert the diskette with the following name: ^ Yes, the name was a single caret!!!! I tried Display Driver #2 and #1, but neither worked. I pressed Escape, and it went on to do some work. Then it said something like "Cannot find UNPACK.EXE". I hit a key and now I have a window entitled "Installing Display Drivers" with the text "Please wait". It's been sitting there for 10 minutes and I think it's hung. The only unusual thing I can think of about my setup is that in addition to the VGA primary display I have a monochrome secondary display. Is that a problem? Come to think of it, it never asked me what resolution I wanted for the VGA. I did fill in info about a secondary display, though. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Please email me at kbennett@access.digex.net. If you have the answer, feel free to call me station to station collect (if you're in the continental US) at (301) 929-8500. Thanks. - Keith -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keith Bennett Bennett Business Solutions, Inc.
