I am new to this ListServ, I apologize if this topic has already been discussed and I missed the dialog, but here we go. How to I kill off OS/2 Warp on my IBM ThinkPad 760CD. When I first set it up I decided that I would be using Windows 3.11 but I also wanted to keep OS/2 Warp on my system so that I could eventually check it out. Wrong! After spending several weeks getting my system setup just the way I like it in Windows 3.11 I decided one day to try out OS/2 Warp. I used the Go to OS/2 Warp icon. OS/2 Warp seemed to load OK, I played with it for a few minutes and I was basically underwelmed. I then switched back to Windows 3.11, or I thought I did. After five days of troubleshooting I am now back to square one in WIndows 3.11. Basically, to make a long story short, OS/2 Warp wrote over my WIN.COM file. This new WIN.COM file was for 3.1, was 30,882 bytes, and dated 03-23-95. It insisted on loading 84K of conventional memory. The result was that I did not have enough conventional memory to do anything! When I finally replaced WIN.COM with a 3.11 files, 50,904 bytes, and dated 05-14-96, my problems went away. Now WIN.COM only take up 2K, as it should. This solution was only found after I wasted much of my time playing around with AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI, and all the other files I normally check when I run into conventional memory problems. As a consequence of this experience, I want to totally remove OS/2 Warp from my laptop. I have not found a delete or erase option with it. How does one go about it? What subdirectories do I have to delete? What files must go? Are there any parameters in INI files that must be altered? Any advice would be appreciated, thank you. John P.
