DESCRIPTION

Your system has Desktop problems, and you want to determine if the INI 
files are the cause.

RESOLUTION

Create temporary INI files to determine if customized INI files are the 
cause of the Desktop problems.

1. Open an OS/2 Window.

2. At the command prompt, type the following and press Enter after each:

      CD\OS2
      MAKEINI OS21.INI INI.RC
      MAKEINI OS2SYS1.INI INISYS.RC

   Note: INI file names end with "1."

3. Type CD\ and press Enter.

4. Type E CONFIG.SYS and press Enter to edit the CONFIG.SYS file.

5. Change the following statements near top of the file:

      Change: SET USER_INI=C:\OS2\OS2.INI
      To:     SET USER_INI=C:\OS2\OS21.INI

      Change: SET SYSTEM_INI=C:\OS2\OS2SYS.INI
      To:     SET SYSTEM_INI=C:\OS2\OS2SYS1.INI

6. Select File, and then Save; then select Close.

7. Shut down and restart the system.

If the problem is solved, the INI files were at fault. Edit the 
CONFIG.SYS file and return the statements changed in step 5 to their 
original values; that is, remove the "1" from the file names, and then 
replace the INI files as described under "Recovering the User INI File" 
in the User's Guide to OS/2 Warp.

If the problem is NOT solved, the INI files were not at fault.
Something else is causing the problem.
