What error do you get?  What version of OS/2? How big a hard drive?

Don't worry about the registration screen for now, AFAIK registration is just 
to see how many are using OS/2 you do not even get tech support.

Seeing that I am probably the only one here operating on a 3GB HD and a slow 
Computer K6-2/266 with 340MB memory, all I run is Warp 4 with FP9 it went in no 
sweat.

I agree that it is stupid, however there are some systems that no matter what 
we do that operating systems and software will not go in for us.  I experienced 
that in my DOS days as well as in my OS/2 time. Got a friend that tried mega 
times to install OS/2 on his laptop and was thwarted every time.


Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
