     Well, this sounds terrible, but last night I came up with something
to blame the VW32S.SYS failure on.  The problem was that a boot up time,
when OS/2 was processing the "config.sys" file, the device driver
"VW32S.SYS" would not load.
     The problem?  I had a DIRTY operating system partition.  By DIRTY, I
mean that I had the following necessary, but unwanted directories.
                        Nowhere1
                        Nowhere2
                        Nowhere3
                        Temporary Desktop
                        Temporary Desktop1
     When removing these directories produced an unbootable partition, I
simply re-formatted the partition and installed OS/2 again.  After that,
I installed Fix Pack 3, without any problems.  So the initial Fix Pack 3
installation problem was NOT related to hardware.
