From: "Roderick Klein" Some people have had reported that they had trouble installing Lotus Smartsuite. Getting an error message that the wrong version of OS/2 was installed. For eCS the installer of Lotus Smartsuite has NOT(!) been changed... Please note that if you use these tips in this email that you make a backup of your OS2.INI, OS2SYS.INI from the \OS2 directory. Also note that these files are hidden and read only!. Also make a backup of system.dat and user.dat from \OS2\SYSTEM. If you get the error message that your installed OS/2 version is not the right one version (from the Smartsuite installer). There is something wrong in the file \os2\system user.dat and system.dat file. I have not had the time to look with regedit2.exe in the registries. Again using this tool (that comes with eCS and OS/2 installed) watch what you do.... If you don't use any ODIN applications you could safely delete the user.dat and system.dat. These files are used for the open32 support in OS/2... But make a backup since some programs like Lotus Smartsuite use them.... Another option maybe regrx.exe which is installed with Smartsuite to hard disk, it can also be found on CD... Again with all these tools, be careful! Make backups of the files before using them.... You use this tips and tricks on your own risk! -- To unsubscribe yourself from this list, send the following message to majormajoratos2voice.org unsubscribe news end If you have an announcement you would like posted to the VOICE News list, please send it to submitatos2voice.org.
