     SELECTIVE (RE-) INSTALL OF WIN-OS/2 SUPPORT FOR OS/2 2.1,
            NOT TO BE APPLIED TO OS/2 FOR WINDOWS



SYMPTOMS:

  Cannot start WIN-OS/2 Full Screen or Program Manager from
  desktop, or launch Windows applications seamlessly because:

  1. Migration of Windows desktop and/or migration of Windows
     applications was performed during install of OS/2 2.1
     when Advanced Options window was presented.

  2. Upgrade from OS/2 2.0 to 2.1 was not successful which
     can be determined partly by going into WIN-OS/2 full
     screen settings and checking the PATH and FILENAME statement
     for WINOS2.COM.  Or, applications launched, but not all
     functions are available after several remigrations or even
     reinstallations.  This procedure applies when WIN-OS/2
     doesn't behave normally, where Windows (or applications)
     within Program Manager may hang and/or switching between
     Program Manager and the OS/2 desktop is problematic.



RESOLUTION:

  1. Obtain OS/2 2.1 and any Windows applications diskettes.
     Selective Install CANNOT be started without these diskettes.

  2. Close any Windows applications and WIN-OS/2 full screen.
     Check the Window List for anything that may be minimized.

  3. Start from OS/2 desktop.

  4. Selective Install involves:
     - Deleting all files from WINOS2\SYSTEM and WINOS2
       directories
     - Following Selective Install in System Setup and
       inserting diskettes when prompted
     - Reinstalling fonts in WIN-OS/2 full screen if any
       were added
     - Reinstalling Windows applications from WIN-OS/2 full
       screen using File/Run, or from a command line
     - Remigrating applications to desktop in order to run them
       in seamless mode

  applications diskettes to proceed with Selective Install.
