OK, now I've got a problem . .

Post #39,231 by Andrew Grygus 5/19/02 8:39:23 PM Reply	OK, now I've got a problem . . My "All OS/2" client needs to run a Windows95 program on one of his PCs. Looked like VPC would be just the ticket. Big problem! VPC requires Fixpack-13 or later (Warp 4.5). My client is at Fixpack-12 because he runs a bunch of DOS programs. Some commercial DOS programs (including one he runs intensively) slow down to an unusable crawl when Fixpack-13 or beyond is applied. Do any of you guys know the cause of this slowdown and how to fix it? [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Maybe their Win95 app will work sufficiently well under ODIN. You might try contacting the folks at [link\|http://www.innotek.de/products/virtualpc/virtualpcgeneral.html\|Innotek] (the porters of VPC to OS/2) to see if they know what the problem with FP-13 is. HTH. Cheers, Scott.

Scroll bars don't appear (crippling, since the program screens long lists), the registration module doesn't start, (which limits you to 10 uses), and OS/2 doesn't necessarily run very well after exiting. Have thought of contacting Innotek, and will if other leads don't pan out soon. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

If you could post the DOS settings he uses for his program object, it might help in figuring out what's going on with that as well... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- * Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca * * [link\|http://consultron.ca \|[link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] ] irc.ecomstation.ca * * Laval Qu\ufffdbec Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] * -------------------------------------------------------------------
