Do you use a USB mouse? Do you use AN Version 11.17?
Then revert Back to 11.16.
Then revert Back to 11.16.

Bull. I gave up complaining about this issue, years ago, because I "am the only one with the problem".
Thanks for advising. My apologies if I didn't recall that you bitched and moaned about this years ago - one rant tends to blend into another.
Happily, an unusual confluence of events today has opened a whole new avenue to explore - one that has nothing to do with XWP or the WPS. As you know, I got to see part of your config.sys today and the many, many filesystems you load. Perhaps that's where the problem lies. As I understand it, all filesystem requests go through the kernel's filesystem router, then out to the appropriate one. If something were to get messed up there, it's easy to see how some or all filesystem activity would grind to a halt.
Based on the excerpt of config.sys you posted, I see that you load:Dariusz, do you use any of the less common ones on this list?
- JFS
- HPFS
- CDFS
- FAT32
- UDF
- STUBFSD / AEFS
- STUBFSD / ISOFS
- NDFS
- TONIGY
QuoteThe best that I can hope for, is that one of the main developers will see the problem, figure it out, and fix it.
That's pretty amusing...
QuoteLooks like quite a few people are having probs with FAT32 as it comes with AN:
I have had a problem with special characters in the folder, or file, names. They just don't match what the older FAT32 driver , or windows, uses. That can also result in a case where the files "disappear" while copying (they are still there).
Personally, I always turn off EAS. The file system, itself, doesn't support them, and you will have nothing but problems with them, if you try to use that feature (true for older FAT32 versions too).
The easy "fix" is to get FAT32 9.13, from HOBBES, and replace what comes with ArcaOS.. Eventually, somebody will listen to what i tell them, and the problem will be fixed.
I am using XWP "full" version (that is,not the lite version) 1.0.11 available on Hobbes. I would think that is about the version that AN delivers.
ANXWP is at version ..umm.. 1.0.11++. I've made about 10 changes since 1.0.11 and checked them in to the Netlabs repo but I haven't built a new generic version yet because all the NLS files need updating. I'll try to get that moving.(
I don't have AN installed but I do have the latest XWP installed.
For the record: which version? There are two versions per release. Which version is AN's?
Draw backs of HPFS, long chkdsk time, hate to think how long a chdsk /f:3 on a 2TiB partition would takeLack of large file support, the 2GiB file size limit is a problem. It is possible to work around this with the DEADBEEF flag, which changes seeking from per byte to per sector with caller having to manage things.
I don't know much else about the structures.
I've been reading about this tonight. It looks like large file support could be overcome, as the theoretical maximum is over 7+GB as is. That 7+GB limitation could be defeated with a tweak it could be extended out as far as is needed.
It seems the only true limit right now to very large files in HPFS is in the legacy API, which only receives 32-bit value for file-related offsets. That could also be defeated with our own open source kernel and new API which supports 64-bit file operations.
-----
If I had money, I would devote a team of developers to creating our own open source OS/2 clone from the ground up, kind of like what Mark Shuttleworth did with Ubuntu Linux, although he still built atop the community base, and ours would be a full ground-up replacement effort, but I would be supporting the full legacy OS/2 API so all of our code could be compiled on existing OS/2 code bases for testing, and would also compile on the new OS/2.
Ah to dream...
Thank you,

I have installed this on my new laptop, and sound does work. For those who want to try.
1. If uniaud is installed, uninstall it. Use uninstal.exe from an older uniaud release to remove it. uninstal.exe is not in more recent releases. reboot.
2. install USB 10.217. reboot
3. install usbaudio and usbwav using minstall. reboot
At this point, sound worked for me. I'm using the Trond device https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA8583987106 I still see some drop outs, and lost frames/stopped video on YouTube. The sound is pretty good.
