Well – I installed OS/2 and like it a lot so far, but have big problems with 3DS. When I try to run it in a full size window, it runs very slowly indeed. When I try to toggle to OS/2 it comes back fine but then 34DS D is lost when I toggle back. I heard that I have to set something in the Pharlap driver to stop memory contentions, and also that I should set up DPMI (whatever that is!!) Any suggestions??? max1

I bought OS2 Warp and returned it after a 3 hour battle to get tech support only to get some moron who didn't know (%$#%# and was just reading off a computer database. I returned it when they couldn't find an answer to my question. (All I wanted to know was if I could use my network. I would think a simple question.) Anyway frustration and anger set in and I returned the product. Was I hasty or is the operating system worth using. Can you use disk compression software? Will it work with Novell Netware Lite?
