DESCRIPTION

The installation stops at or after Diskette 17 (Blue) or Diskette 14 
(Salmon). Enough of the system is loaded to get the Desktop.

RESOLUTION

Note: Make sure you have a backup of any file you intend to change.

You need to add the VIDEO statements to the CONFIG.SYS file on the hard 
disk.

Note: If you installed your system from a CD-ROM, review step 5 before
      beginning.

 1. Insert the Installation Diskette in drive A and press Ctrl+Alt+Del
    to restart the system. If the keyboard is locked, turn the system
    off and then on again.

 2. When prompted, remove the Installation Diskette and insert Diskette
    1; then press Enter.

 3. At the Welcome screen, press Esc to get the the A: prompt.

 4. Change to the drive on which OS/2 is installed.

 5. Change to the \OS2 directory (for example, CD \OS2).

 6. Type DIR *.* > SVGADATA.PMI and press Enter.

 7. Type SETVGA x: and press Enter (x is the drive where OS/2 is
    installed).

 8. When SETVGA starts, it prompts for Display Driver Diskette 1. If
    you installed from CD-ROM, you have to create this diskette. Type
    the following and press Enter (cd is the letter of your CD-ROM
    drive, and size is the size of your diskette--35 for 3.5-inch; 525
    for 5.25-inch):

    cd:\DISKIMGS\LOADDSKF cd:\DISKIMGS\OS2\size\DISP1.DSK A:

 9. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system and go to the OS/2 Desktop.

10. Open an OS/2 Window session; then type DSPINSTL and press Enter.
    This installs the video adapter and correct resolution for your
    video.

11. Perform a shutdown; then press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system.

12. Do a Selective Install for your printer and WIN-OS/2 support.

If procedure is not successful, try the following:

1. Change to the \OS2\DLL subdirectory and check for the following
   files and status:

      IBMVGA32.DLL        42378   4-22-93  3:54P
      IBMDEV32.DLL        85326   4-22-93  4:08P
      BVHVGA.DLL          40892   4-25-93  4:04P
      DISPLAY.DLL         77120   4-29-93  9:24P

   If the files are not present, insert Display Driver Diskette 1 in
   drive A; then at the command prompt, type \OS2\UNPACK A:\VGA and
   press Enter.

2. Insert the appropriate diskette from the following in drive A:

      3.5-inch blue: Diskette 2
      3.5-inch salmon: Diskette 3
      5.25-inch: Diskette 4

3. Type \OS2\UNPACK A:\BUNDLE /N:DISPLAY.DLL and press Enter to unpack
   the DISPLAY.DLL files.

4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and make sure it has the following
   statements (x is the partition where OS/2 is installed):

      DEVINFO=SCR,VGA,x:\OS2\VIOTBL.DCP
      SET VIDEO_DEVICES=VIO_VGA
      SET VIO_VGA=DEVICE(BVHVGA)
      DEVICE=x:\OS2\MDOS\VVGA.SYS

This is not the solution for every case. If you still have the problem, 
call OS/2 Technical Support for assistance.
