Hi Linda,

 LP> Reinstalled the WIN. Voila working.

Ok, will ignore any DOS/Win issues then...


 PK>  - Is it FAT or HPFS?

 LP> HPFS.  Put the swap on D FAT 16.

Uhg....FAT!..;-( You have possibly just destroyed any gain you had by placing
it on another drive. The Swap file performs best when -
 - It can be QUICKLY accessed!
 - It is written as ONE CONTIGUOUS AREA of disk. HPFS is excellent for a SWAP
file, FAT is just about the worst place to store it. Put it back on the C:
drive.... NOW!.......;-)


 PK>  - How much FREE disk space does it have?

 LP> Sorry forgot.

As long as your C: drive has plenty of room (say 100Mb BEFORE your SWAP file
is placed there) you shuld be fine.


 JP> and won't read the DOS C drive

 PK> If you are using multiple primary partitions then that is not
 PK> surprising.

 LP> In multiboot says it's hidden.  How do I change this with the Fdisk.  D
 LP> is fine.

I dont know Multi-boot so others can probably handle this better. I suspect
you may have to turn some of those Primary partitions back into Logical
drives........;-(


 LP> Lost my inport mouse

 PK> It probably can't autodetect one of those, you may need to go into

 LP> It auto detected but it keeps disappearing & had to use the keyboard
 LP> to load down.  That is a real oucher.  Mine is an MS Buss mouse.

If its disappearing after/while running a DOS/Win session, then you may need
to investigate the DOS settings that relate to the MOUSE for the application
that is having the problem. Sometimes DOS programs have the mouse driver
built-in because a MOUSE is not always standard under DOS. When those
applications run in a DOS box under OS/2, they are prevented from talking
directly to the mouse, so you may need to "tweak" a setting to allow that
specific application direct access. Caution: Sometimes this can be a rocky
ride if the application fiddles with the mouse settings that then take affect
in OS/2 (or other DOS) windows... You may need to play with this a bit to get
it working ok, it really depends on WHAT the DOS S/W does to the mouse.


 LP> & hung playing a game.

 PK> What "hung"? In many cases a system that does not 
 LP> respond to keystrokes

 LP> Oh, it hangs.  C-A-D won't even work.  Little reboot button time.

If this is also a DOS application, then you need to investigate the DOS
settings. This one is tricky, there are a LOT of options and a slight change
on one of them is all that may be needed to resolve this problem. Post details 
of the specific application and someone may be able to suggest some known
settings.


 LP> And want to see the DOS C.

 LP> During the Fdisk I didn't want to play with the DOS C.  I think I
 LP> assigned it as bootable but can't remember at the moment.

 PK> primary partitions on that drive, then you really are up the creek
 PK> without a paddle, however some of the other folks here may be able to
 PK> provide a few tricks to resolve this.

 LP> I think Fdisk will fix this.  After all I'm using Drive D.  Just ansy
 LP> about playing with the DOS partition at the moment.

I am now confused, I though OS/2 installed to drive C!!! If not, what
partition is it seeing as C: ???


 LP> But then it only has 6 MB

 PK> That should have no affect on the issues you have seen.
 PK> It will inhibit some things, but it should still run (walk.....;-)).

 LP> Stutter?

Only if you run too much.......;-) At least you have a road to head down now,
just watch out for the pot-holes

BTW: What is the processor in that machine? 

Cheers..........pk.
