I have done this before but obviously the silly season has arrived for me in earnest. I have got the Features\FISetup\Feature1 setup on D: drive where I have unzipped the javainrt.exe file. When I go to run the install.exe, it thinks and then comes back with a SYS0002 Error! I don't know what's going on as I don't know what file it can't find. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am curious as to what anti virus software is used by the os/2 fraternity? I have just downloaded a trial of Norman Virus Control v5. Any comments.......

SYS1731: The BOOT command was not able to restart the system. [KAL:] The utility that Ed sent me works but I've figured out that reboot really does reboot, it takes the system down without closing anything, oh well, it did the job :-) I could place the DOS.SYS driver in config.sys but I'll mess around with that when I'm back in Melbourne.

Our best protection so far is that almost all virii are Win32, with an occasional Leenucks and a rare $olaaari$. I keep it up to date with the Internet Update feature, works fine. It's all Java, needs 1.1.8 (er, looks like you won't be able to install it just yet) Use the Task Utiity to define a cycle of checking, switch on options etc. All quite self-explanatory, has a decent manual. For support you need to know that Capital Solutions is no longer in Clayton, but has moved to Wantirna South.
