Error Symptoms of a Malfunctioning Desktop

The following symptoms may help in diagnosing when something has gone wrong with the system configuration files:

  • Extra printers/queues have been defined in the INI file, but there is no printer object on the desktop; printing doesn't work properly

  • Multiple instances of the same object(s)

  • Impossible to use mouse button 2 to get the desktop's context menu

  • OS/2 won't fully boot; the initial OS/2 sign-on is displayed but, when the Presentation Manager is supposed to start, the system hangs

  • LAN login hangs the system.
