[Discussion] Corel 4 Install on ECS Problem

[jim.scott at scottelectronic.com]

HI all, 
 
Help Help!! 
 
Please read carefully... 
 
I had to install a new system on my computer.  I added a 4.3GB hard-drive, installed ECS 1.2 flawlessly on Drive F:.  I have access to all files on   
the os/2 Warp 4 Drive C: and all the data on Drive D; 
 
I have some Win 31 apps that ran just fine on Warp 4 for years.  I tried running Corel, and it failed, so I installed both Corel 3 and Corel 4   
without a hitch onto Drive F. 
 
Same problem persists :-(   When I try to start any of the Corel apps it hangs after the Corel logo appears. The hourglass remains and the CPU usage   
goes to 100%.  I have to use <CTRL><ESC> to get to the window list task menu to close the the entire window 3.1 session.  I cannot *just* close Corel   
4. 
 
There is an empty temp file generated each time. 
 
[F:\os2\mdos\winos2\system]dir f:\temp 
 
The volume label in drive F is HUNTER_ECS_. 
The Volume Serial Number is 695D:6C15. 
Directory of F:\temp

[F:\os2\mdos\winos2\system] 
 
 
 
Finally, to be sure it wasn't the Winos2 on ECS, I copied a few necessary DLL and OLB files to the winos2\system directory, and succeeded in running   
EXCEL for Win 31 located on Drive C:  - BTW, it looks good with the SCITECH SNAP graphics driver running 1280x1024 with a Matrox Millenium. 
 
I run 2gbfix in Autoexec so to keep windoze happy. 
 
I'm in a time crunch - so what have I missed! It looks like it should go, and has to be some simple thing I've forgotten! <Heavy Sigh>  


Peace,

Jim Scott
