I got a SDDHELPER$ corrupted msg and rebooted to vga mode.  Now, how do I reinstall snap? 
Thanks

Hi BigFig,

Haven't played with the 2.0 releases, but this has always worked on all previous versions for SDD SNAP SE...

- open a command window

- type DSPINSTL (ENTER)

- Select the primary display

- Follow the rest of the prompts (ie: select different driver, insert CD if requested, etc)

HTH,
Robert

Hi BigFig

Insert CD in drive

Open a command window in the directory [CD:]\ CID\SERVER\SNAP (substitute correct drive letter for CD drive)

Run the SETUP.CMD in that directory

Regards

Pete

Thanks to both of you.  The first suggestion didn't work because dspinstl kept asking for a .dsp file location and I didn't have a clue.

The   setup.cmd required a parameter "snap" to work but work it did. 

Again, thanks a lot.

I have been running OS/2 since the 2.0 and eCS 1.2 since it came out.  The trouble is,  it just kept running and running and I just kept using it and using it and forgot how to do all those little things like this.
