Also, you might want to press ALT-F1 for a list of recovery options, or ALT-F2 to see all the drivers load up. This is helpful in determining which driver(s) cause the system to hang. And it is recommended that you run CHKDSK /F, possibly in OS/2 if you still have your OS/2 boot disks. BTW, what version do you have? Regards, Paul Regards, Paul Khoury pkhoury@earthlink.net
