Hi.

I found DTA (2002/11/30) and I just installed on the Thinkpad L420 with UniAud.

It partially sounds. I went to "Win-OS2 Main - Control Panel - Sound" and try the four sounds there. At first some of the four wavs sounds and some other don't (showed an error that "Cannot play the selected sound....) , close "Sound" and reopen it and all sounds worked. But the Win-OS2 session is now unstable when you try to close it, it hanged. So I checked the DTA readme and read it.....

It suggested to change the settings of the session to:
- EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT = 0
- EMS_FRAME_LOCATION = NONE
I changed that on the Win-OS2 Session (Windows) and it is working, with sound, in a very solid way for the moment. It plays all sounds and does not hangs on exit.

I will keep testing.

Regards

Hi

I'm also experiencing some DOS windows session issue.  Look at the attached image  and see if it looks familiar.
Any help is welcome.

This item from the eComStation quick guide might help:


--- Code: ---Q: When I try to start a DOS or Win16 window, I get a popup message saying that the
video mode is not supported. What do I do?
A: You can try two things:
1. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file and locate the line which loads VSVGA.SYS. Add
the following switch to the end of the line:
/int10textgrfxsafe
You may also need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and add the following lines to the
end of the file:
mode co80
cls
2. If solution 1 does not work, try changing the name of the VSVGA.SYS driver in
CONFIG.SYS to “VVGA.SYS” instead.
--- End code ---

Also, many of us have seen this kind of problem fixed by ACPI 3.23.10.

Finally, if neither work, try older hardware.

While I have used this (years ago), with no apparent problems, be aware that VVGA.SYS is not SMP safe, so you may see odd problems because of that.
