I got some of them to work after manually changing each individual file's permissions and disabling "read only". It's a pain as I must do it one file at a time and some games are over 200 files!!! Is there a way to quickly change the permissions of multiple files on OS/2 like on windows?

Hello! Is there a way to get Sound Blaster sounds work in DOS games from Windows ME using an AWE32 PNP sound card? For some reason, music in such games is working just fine, but if I select the sound blaster card in their setups, they give me a conflicting IRQ error (Duke Nukem and ROTT, but …

So I then installed Windows ME and so far it's working nicely, tho I haven't plugged in any USB drive in it..... After all, since I'm now using a …

Here's a bit of heads up on the things! The adapters arrived today and I'm currently still testing stuff out, I ordered an SD to IDE and a SATA to IDE adapters. The SD to IDE makes the computer hang after POST, when it should automatically detect the C/H/S of the drive; I tried different cards but …

I'm using a Creative Labs 3D Blaster 3DFX Voodoo Banshee 16MB AGP GPU I couldn't find any drivers specific for OS/2 or anything below Windows 95, so I went with Generic VGA and everything worked fine, including higher resolutions and colors under Win 3.11 games

Ironically, Windows 3.11 games seem to be working just fine, I even got full 256 colors support and sound working, it's only DOS games that are giving me so many tribulations... This is because OS/2 has a very good Win16 integration, called Win-OS/2. That's awesome, so if I can't get the DOS games …

Hello, I installed OS/2 on the Pentium 2 build, but it seems that only few DOS games are working properly, most of them are crashing with a DosRaiseException error, of which I can't find any info online. Now, for those who know OS/2, executables come with a lot of properties that I can change in …

I just checked and currently the floppy drive is already disconnected Another thing that happens and I forgot to mention, is that for some reason Windows 98 boots one time, then the next boot crashes with STACK error, then the next time boots again and so on, weird

The shutting down is random, sometimes it's very stable and lasts for over an hour, other times it shuts down after 10 minutes of usage... I noticed that the first times a day that I use it, is when it lasts longer, then the AC adapter builds heat and starts shutting down the PC randomly like that …

It might help a bit, with some fresh new capacitors, but since none of them is bulging, why may have they died inside without reason and from a day to another ?
