subject: Lost desktop

After all these years using OS/2 I finally encountered a situation were=20
I cannot boot to the desktop.  The startup folder appears then closes=20
and there is a little disk activity then it hangs with the blue screen=20
and only a movable cursor showing.

This is a fairly new install that I am still adding to and fine tuning=20
so I have not setup a backup strategy or archives of the wps etc. If it=20
makes any difference I was trying to get sound working and had rebooted=20
a couple of time when this happened.

Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this without using the archive=20
of the original install or re installing?

Thanks,  Jim
