Hi Tom
with SCOUG I learnt that this sequence of =

UniMaint - CheckINI - CleanINI
shall be very important !

Well, UniMaint is indeed quite complex but it helps you to discover =

your system quite effective. I am also not very used to all of its
features =

but I am using "REPAIR" quite often:

First I do a CHECK only !
Then I do either an (ALL) EXECUTE or a SELECTIVE EXECUTE !!
After EXECUTE I am doing a check and normally get "Nothing to repair"
!!!

With CheckINI I am using the parm /C /R /H first =

and /C only at second time !
Are you using version 3.2 or elder ?

With CleanINI (version 0.55) I am using the following parms

/C /restart /delall /multipass

Another question: What are the sizes of your os2.ini or os2sys.ini
files ?

I hope you do not need to re-install your system but before =

you do a proper new installation it's the best time to learn and try =

with these system-sensitive experiments ;-)

Looking at your files listed I noticed some I do not have there !?
i.e. I do not have a ZIP.exe in C:\OS2 !?

Your eCS resp OS/2 is in the logical F: !
Is your primary C. a WIN partition ?
Are you having only one primary C: partition ?
Have you considered / thought of 2 primary C: partitions to be =

choosen wit the Bootmamanger either the one or the other and =

having hidden (or saved) the other (not used) one ?

Good luck with your experiments ! I wish they are successful !!
Have a nice Sunday

I have tried all three. Checkini first, since that is what I am used
to. =

The last one (run with only /S) stopped with a message to check the log =

file, but instead of ending, the WPS was hung. The mouse would still =

move, but nothing else worked. I had to C-A-D. All recent runs of =

CHECKINI have ended with the WPS hung in that same manner. I have tried =

it with everything else shut down prior to the run.

I tried cleanini without parameters, but from looking at the log file
it =

created, it was going to delete hundreds of tiles from my hard drive!
Cleanini.log excerpt:

2761 3A29 ? 0 ? FldPos --- F:\OS2\BOOT
765E 2761 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\BOOT\ALTF1.CMD
29AF 2761 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\BOOT\GSVDAEMN.EXE
17AA 2761 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\BOOT\VCU.EXE
9799 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\ZIP.EXE
6761 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\XDFCOPY.EXE
E9FE 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\XCOPY.EXE
66CC 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\WPSYSOBJ.CMD
A7DF 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\WPSINST.CMD
851F 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\WPFIND.CMD
69E6 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\WPDSINIT.EXE
9A82 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\WPDSACTV.EXE
2D26 3A29 file 0 x None del F:\OS2\WPCONST.CMD

Is that what it is proposing to do?

I have had Unimaint for a long time, but never learned how to use it.
:-(>
I tried some preliminary poking about, but it hung in several spots, =

too. Again, I had to C-A-D.

I hate to say this, but maybe it's time to re-install eCS!
