Title: [SOLVED] Warp 3 beeps on software execution
Post by: Mathias on January 24, 2018, 03:49:52 pm
Dear forum,

I have Warp3 running on a 486er, but after installing SSH via WarpIn, each software execution via GUI makes the machine beep via speaker.
Executing stuff from the OS/2 prompt does not bring that effect. Just clicking Icons which executes COM, EXE, BAT, CMD

Next I looked up COMPSEC in config.sys, but that points to the usual C:\OS2\CMD.EXE

Looks perfectly normal to me.. any ideas? :o

Kind regards
Cif

The beeps are caused by the version of 'sesmgr.dll' that comes with Security/2 - a prerequisite for using some versions of SSH. They don't occur if Security/2 is properly configured.

If you no longer want to use S/2, look for a copy of that DLL in a directory that appears on your LIBPATH before x:\os2\dll (most likely in x:\security\dll). It's datestamp should be much newer that the original in x:\os2\dll. The file in question will be locked, so the easiest way to fix the problem is to remove the directory containing it from your LIBPATH, then reboot.
