I'm assuming you are using WARP. If so, the last released for general
availability Fixpack is #10. You could be subject to troubles and a
reinstall if you got alhold of a later number than that i.e. #14.

The Fixpacks are cumulative, which means that all fixes to that particular
version of OS/2 are included, so the latest generally available Fixpack
(#10) would have all fixes for WARP.

Now, if you DON'T have any apparent problems, DON'T install a Fixpack
of any version. Each Fixpack has an APAR textfile, telling what problems
are addressed by the Fixpack. You can get that textfile and check to see
if you have a problem that it addressed.

But, I will leave you with this: "If it ain't broke, don't fix
it" .
