Well, another problem has crept up that I need some help or advice about... When I first picked up OS/2 I had a Technician look over my system and make sure that everything is compatible... But when I took it home I loaded the installation disk and everything looked fine, but when it got to wanting to load the second disk, the machine locked up, the floppy drive stayed lit and CTRL-ALT-DEL wouldn't work... So I took the program down to where I work, I tried loading it on a server at work that is identical to the one I have at home, It started loading there fine, including the following disks... So I figured I had a Motherboard incompatibility problem...So I took out the Hard Drive out of my computer and the Video card, and swapped them with the other computer... and took the other computer home... But I get the same problem.. I'm wondering if it's my video card or Hard Drive controller... Heres a Description of my Computer... 386/33DX 5.25" 1.2 Meg Floppy Drive 3.5" 1.44 Meg Floppy Drive 120 Megabyte, Seagate Drive Acer HDD Controller 800X600 Vga Controller Any suggestions that could alleviate my problems????
