Hi Linda,

 LP> Think I found out why I have the 'hang' problem.  According to the
 LP> manual Page 207 my bios is hitting.  It says if the mouse & keyboard
 LP> stop working needs an updated bios.

Nope, once the OS/2 Desktop is visible, the BIOS is TOTALLY out of the picture 
and NO AFFECT on the Keyboard/Mouse. Your "problems" are nothing to do with
the BIOS, they are just settings that need some tweaking for the offending
applications!

 LP> How to uninstall now?

You are making a big mistake if you uninstall on the incorrect assumption you
have just made.

In your case, the OS/2 partition is formatted HPFS, which is of no use to you
now so you may as well just format it FAT. You will need to boot to DOS or
OS/2 floppy to Format a partition that is "active" under OS/2 (EG the OS/2
boot partition).

No Linda please dont do it, don't jump!.........;-)
