nayo, why would you want to run a copy of the host operating system as a virtual machine guest on that host? 

A virtual machine will seldom run as well as the host mainly because the host is running on real hardware and the guest has to run on virtualised hardware.

Agreed, there are two buttons.  One is the X, which I assume is supposed to close the bar, and the other is the / over something that looks like a folder which you say represents the 'do not show this again'.

The problem is that neither one does anything.

From my position here reading your problems it sounds as if you have a very messed up system.

OK, I don't have eCS but we use the OS/2 version it is based on.

Scribus v1.4.5 works without any problems and even our Epson flat bed USB scanners work with Tame.

Now the question is what size laptop do you want and how portable does it have to be?  Then you need to consider how you connect to your peripherals (scanner, printer etc.), do you use wireless or a wired connection?

One thing I am wondering about is why you would want slurp10 (what win10 is called in most IT department because of its reporting everything you do back to Redmond).  If you do get a notebook with 10 on it it is very unlikely to allow you to install anything else because the UEFI lockdown.

Sorry I can't be more helpful but you need to define exactly what you want to do and what programs you want to run then look for hardware specifications that will support that.

Hi Pete,

An even better idea would be for the developers to include all the necessary external DLLs that they used in a zip file in the release.  That way we know that we have the correct versions for that particular program.  It might also help if the various DLLs had a buildlevel included.

Valery, I tried that and neither of the buttons on the right of the message do anything even after a restart of the VM.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the 'mouse pointer integration' notice bar that is at the top of the guest program window?  clicking on any of the icons on the right does nothing (the X and /) and if I try to click on a program icon under it it just fill up more screen space.

Other than that and a slightly less jumping mouse in win7 it appears to be working.

I have had a couple of OS/2 crashes with problems in kernel sockets.

Is vbox supposed to support more than one processor core?  The test machine we built has a 2 core processor but I get an error if I try and use more that one core (most of our machines have 4 core processors as do our clients).

Doug, I get exactly the same response on a machine that we put together just to test this.

The initial setup screens appear to work but when we try to run anything we get the attached screen grab and a rather large log file.

Strange as it may seem when we first quoted for this contract we had the first Vbox port from Paul in the system we proposed.  They put the full disk image through the certification process and it passed.  Thus this port of Vbox will be an update which is acceptable provided we pass and package it according to the terms of the contract.  Not the actual beta version but by using that we get a head start on the testing.

As a matter of interest we managed to get OpenOffice accepted because we could show it was an 'update' of StarOffice even using many of the SO file names.  I also know that at some stage in the future we are going to have some problems with running OS/2 on some future hardware.

Under normal circumstances there would not be a problem but until someone pays to have the OS/2 implementation of RPM/YUM certified to work with all combinations of OS/2 Warp our contract precludes its use.

Any program we install on the production and office machines has to be a) an update of what is already there, and we have to produce full test reports before it is accepted (even any hardware updates have to go through a testing program before they are brought on line) or b) be certified by a government approved certifying agency.

Thanks both of you.

It appears that the missing DLLs are all available as zips so it will fun unzipping them all just to get what is needed.  Logic says that since these DLLs are needed they should be available either as a zip in with the program or as a separate zip.  That would make life easier for those of us that don't, and can't, have RPM/YUM on our computers (don't ask it is part of a contractual obligation).

A couple of points.

Where do we get the additions iso from?
Has anyone got a zip of the required DLLs that they could send me?

With thos two items I can try this out on several different computers.

This is just a note to let people know that Daniel F Valot has now restored his OS/2 utilities and Games page on his site.
http://dvalot.pagesperso-orange.fr/OS2programs.html

The utilities include such programs as EMT4PM a program to make and restore diskette images and FREEPM a program to show partition size and free space.

The games include SHISENPM and several others.

Hi Klipp,

When you say 'it won't install on it,'  What won't?  If it is wireless drivers do you actually need to do that?

I assume your computer is connected to some network.  If that is the case and you have a wireless router there is no need to install any wireless drivers in the computer because the printer should be able to talk to the wireless router.

I have that setup here and our HP colour laserjet connects to the USB port of a wireless print server and everyone can print to it by going to its IP address because we have a wireless access point attached to our wired network.  I assume that David has a similar setup.

Hi Sigurd,

Did you get your DVD built and operational?
