DESCRIPTION

This document contains updated Windows application information for OS/2 
Warp. It includes:

* Answers to frequently asked questions
* Changes made to Windows files by OS/2 Warp
* Intermittent General Protection (GP) faults in Quicken for Windows 
  Version 4.0

RESOLUTION

Can OS/2 Warp be installed over OS/2 2.1 or 2.11?

  Currently, OS/2 Warp can be installed only over OS/2 for Windows,
  DOS, or a blank partition. Information regarding the Fullpack release
  is not yet available.

My mouse isn't working in WIN-OS/2, but it does work in OS/2 and DOS.  
What's wrong?

  Check the IRQ settings; there probably is an IRQ conflict between
  serial ports. If the mouse is on COM1, disable COM3 or assign it to
  another IRQ. You can change the IRQs and
  addresses of COM3 and COM4. For example:

     x:\OS2\COM.SYS(3.03e8,2)

  Note: If you want to use IRQ5, LPT port 2 must be disabled. If you
        use IRQ 2 or 9, remember that these are cascaded IRQs.
