I briefly read an article the other day in comp.os.os2.misc about someone's WPS locking up and he rebooted; a followup to that article told the person to put a "restart" (or something--can't remember what it was) directive in his config.sys that pointed to ?:\os2\pmshell.exe (or what ever), and that by doing this, if the WPS locked up (i.e. Mouse and keyboard input useless, but OS/2 is still VISIBLY running), that the WPS would restart itself and everything would be fine (I assume a period of time would have to elapse...). If anyone knows anything about this I'd appreciate some knowledge of it. I've had the same problem myself and its annoying to have to use the 3-fingered-salute to an OS which I think is great. -Jr Thanks. -- Windows...It's like a stale cookie.
