It is now stable (early versions were a little shakey). It loads quicker (especially graphics), it has the option to block unwanted pop-ups. The downside when compared to the IBM version: The IBM version comes with Java and flash installed, "some construction neccessary" to add these plugins to Mozilla. Cheers/2 Ed.

I have never been able to get the latter to work - it always states "Invalid media". I have checked the configuration and as far as I can see, all seems correct. Have you had any more success than I ?

They can be viewed at the following URL: http://cgi6.ebay dot com dot au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=smeddles&in clude=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=25 All items located in Adelaide, South Australia. And before anyone asks - no I'm not stopping using OS/2 - the items are just unwanted stuff out of a box of OS/2 software I just purchased!

Have >you had any more success than I ? Ed For me it is the reverse. I get the DVD to play by clicking "Open DVD/VCD" on the menu, or by inserting a new DVD. I get the same error when opening a DVD if the Drive letter on the DVD/VCD settings page is incorrect.

Generaly UDF.SYS needs to be the last of all of these - in my case it was the first ! I've changed my config.sys and will restart to see if the "load DVD/VCD" option now works. Cheers/2 Ed.

Silly how the IFS load sequence is critical. the first DVD track now starts to play (with sound), however I have to manually load the following tracks - I believe the guys are still trying to get support for DVD menus fixed.
