 AG> Hi All,

 AG> Total horror:

 AG> I was running Warp Connect with fixpack 40, on a VESA bus 486
 AG> when my VGA card suffered hardware death.

 AG> I ahve more Vesa VGA cards than is good for a normal
 AG> human, so I simply swapped it out. Unfortunately, it was
 AG> a different brand. This meant attempting a switch back
 AG> to VGA. This failed - the scan rate was bizarre.

 AG> Obviously time for a re-install.

Not so, for two reasons:

1ø You only have to delete the syslevel.os2 and syslevel.fpk files in the
\OS2\INSTALL directory.

2ø You should have had no trouble at all, if, after having replaced the
hardware, you'd had rebooted with an alt-F1 --> F3 operation.

Just the basics. Next time, before action, do ask first.


    Groeten uit Gent,

      Kris
