Eh? Your computer does actually work, doesn't it... I mean, the clouds.. are they actually in the room or solely on (not in) the monitor..?.. Oh! One minute... :>I then :>have to reset it go into safe mode , Uh? :> restart it then it`s OK.Even when I :>restart it rom the run menu. Emmm... :>It only locks up when started from `cold`. Right. :>I used to run the older version of win95 with no problems.I have tried :>re-installing OS2 a couple of times (even formatting the hard drives so :>I start from nothing) I see.. :>Does anyone have any ideas please. I think you've mixed OS/2 with OSR2. OS/2 is an operating system whereas OSR2 is a bug fix for something else entirely...namely Windos 95. You see, there are no clouds or run menus in OS/2 and it's always running in a safer mode... I think your best bet is to subscribe to demon.ip.support.win95 or just plain demon.ip.support should do. Good luck and hope you get your problem fixed. Clive ,c.
