            OS/2 for Windows File-Dependency Requirements
                         All OS/2 Releases
=======================================================================

Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

OS/2 for Windows requires that files have an exact size. If any of the 
files differ, the installation process does not generate an error, and 
the Program Manager will not load. This is a dependency requirement for 
the Windows system to load.

RESOLUTION

Compare Windows system files to the file sizes listed below.

System Files
------------
These need to be dated 3-10-92:

   KRNL386.EXE           75490 bytes
   GDI.EXE              220800 bytes
   USER.EXE             264016 bytes
   WINFILE.EXE          146864 bytes
   CONTROL.EXE           15872 bytes
   COMM.DRV               9280 bytes
   MOUSE.DRV             10672 bytes
   TIMER.DRV              4192 bytes
   VGA.DRV               73200 bytes
   8514.DRV              92032 bytes

COM Files
---------
The .COM files listed are necessary to start Windows or to launch a 
WIN-OS/2 Full Screen session. WIN.COM and WINOS2.COM should be the same
size. WINDOS.COM is larger, because it becomes WIN.COM when DOS is 
started.

These need to be dated 10-20-93:

   WIN.COM               25640 bytes
   WINOS2.COM            25640 bytes

This file becomes WIN.COM when started in DOS.

   WINDOS.COM            44170 bytes
