subject: Suppressing popups?

Hello, Daniela.

-=> Replying to a message of Daniela Engert to Sean Dennis:

 SD>> I was using SUPRESSPOPUPS=C in my CONFIG.SYS to supress popup error
 SD>> messages in my system until I installed FP11 and now I get an
 SD>> "invalid statement" error upon bootup concerning that.  Any ideas

 DE> It should read 'SUPPRESSPOPUPS=C:'

Thank you for the information.  I was using 'SUPPRESSPOPUPS=C' before... I
guess I must've erased something along the way in my CONFIG.SYS.

Also, I wanted to extend a personal thank-you for writing that wonderful
device driver (DANIS506.ADD)... it solved a very perplexing and annoying
problem that I was having with my D: drive.  I have a Samsung 2.1GB HD that
would constantly shut itself off after one minute of inactivity.  I shut off
all power management in the BIOS and OS/2 with no success.  I was extremely
frustrated for quite some time, as if someone was on my BBS, the drive could
take up to a full 15-30 seconds to start spinning up again, causing the caller 
to wait.  It was very annoying to me.

I then noticed that you'd written your alternative .ADD and decided to give it 
a shot.  I installed it, rebooted... lo and behold-the drive didn't spin down
on me anymore!  Plus, I got a slightly faster response time too, which was an
added benefit.  So, needless to say, I'm very pleased and grateful that you
wrote that.  Once again, thanks!

Later,
Sean
