Success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I solved the problem!!!

I copied a whole \os2 directory from an other existing, working installation, but I used the original os2*.ini files from the old os2 directory - and it WORKS!!!

I don't know which file was the 'evil', perhaps the user.dat and system.dat registry files (at \os2\system), or an other file, which can change during usage under the \os2 directory - but not the ini files.

Now I have to tune the system, correct some inconsistency between the two installations.

Thanks for everyone, who helped me here!

Daniel.

Any new idea?

You still haven't posted your config.sys for us to look at!  How can we help you if you don't post ALL the information that may be necessary to solving the problem?

OK. So here is my CONFIG.SYS . It hasn't changed before the error, so I don't think there should be any bad thing.

These programs does NOT START:

pmshell.exe's second instance
DOS (and Win16) sessions
ODIN sessions (including Innowin - The Innotek Odin, like Acrobatreader 4/5 etc.)
Innotek's Java 1.4.2
Older Firefox (1.x, 2.x) and Mozilla (Including IWB)
Rexx sessions
Printer setup dialogs in programs
Lotus Smartsuite
Opera 5.

These programs load, but don't start. It can be seen with the "top" command line utility, or in FM/2's "Kill" window.
But they can't be killed!

And system shutdown doesn't work too (with the "shutdown" command, or from MiniShell (mshell) utility - because I can't use wps shutdown..).


These programs START CORRECTLY:

pmshell.exe 's first instance (the base GUI)
most VIO programs (eg. File Commander etc.)
simple, or mostly real native os/2 programs, that do not need too much "WPS things"
(e.g.: PMView, PMMail, Lucide, FM/2 and similar progs are working)
Java 1.1, 1.3.1, 1.4.1 (IBM, Golden Code) are OK!
Firefox 3, Seamonkey works!

Internet connection is OK too.

So, what is this? :-)



Well, as I suggested earlier, if this were my machine, the next thing I'd try is revert back to VGA then reinstalling SNAP, then checking all the DOS based device driver(s), and check for things in the config.sys like protectonly=yes (and if it is there change it to protectonly=no)

I'd also remove all the Innotek stuff and reinstall it.

And if the Innotek Font Engine is installed, I'd remove (or disable) it (just to make sure it isn't causing problems). 

Why do I suggest the video issue as a place to start?  Simple.

DOS and WinOS/2 both rely on a working video driver that has both the PM side, the DOS side, and the Seamless side of the driver.  I've had machines where neither DOS nor WinOS/2 would work in either fullscreen or seamless mode, even though PMShell came up.  Reverting to VGA and then reinstalling SNAP has fixed it for me.  If the DOS side of the driver is corrupt, then none of the Dos or WinOS/2 stuff will start.  Furthermore any application that makes a call to any of the DOS side of the video driver will fail to work properly.  If the portion of the driver that hooks the Dos stuff into the PM stuff is corrupted, then even stranger things can happen even if you don't use any dos or win3.1 applications!

Odin stuff also hooks into the video sub-system in interesting ways to get the Win32 screens to display on OS/2.  In fact, there are certain video drivers that Odin / Innowin stuff just won't work with because they're missing the needed hooks (If you don't believe me then have a look at some of the readme documentation...  I've got an old S3 based video card that Odin stuff won't work at all on with the "native" S3 driver, but if I use it with SNAP in the GENGRAD settings it all works fine...)

Innotek Java 1.4.2 is built on Innowin / Odin, so the same as above would apply.

For the older versions of Firefox / Mozilla, this may be the same issue.  As I recall the older versions - some of them would load up the ipluginw.dll upon startup needed for plug-ins to work, and if you have either the Flash7 or the Innotek Java1.4.2 plugin installed, the plugin could be loading up portions into memory upon starting of Firefox.  Both of these plugins are based on Innowin / Odin. 

Also the older versions of Firefox seemed to have issues with some video drivers and how they interacted with each other.  Does anyone remember the old version of Firefox that used to display some pictures and images upside down and then randomly crash?  The fix for the upside down images was to upgrade the video driver (even though everything else on the system appeared to work properly)... the crash was fixed with a later build of firefox.

Opera 5 - is also based on Odin stuff, see comments above.

Lotus Smartsuite - is based on Open32  (which also is part of the foundation of Odin / Innowin). 

For the REXX and printer dialogues, I can't make a guess without more information.  But I still believe that video is a good item to try.

Of course I could be incorrect, but that's the nature of trying to fix a problem such as the one you have - you try different things until you find something that works, and all the potential solutions will be incorrect until you find the one that works.







I reverted back to VGA. But it couldn't help..

What to do now?

OK that's a start.  Now, have you tried to revert to bog standard VGA?  This will give some indication if the video driver is corrupt in some way.

Another thing please post your full config.sys as there may be something missing that is causing the problem.

At the moment there is insufficient information available to try and debug your system by remote control.  For example, what programs don't start and more importantly what programs do?

I think I don't have to revert to VGA, because there are no base gui problems. The PM comes up correctly, everything is in the same resolution, then before. The starting programs work well. Just the Desktop and the folders can't start. You know, on a correct system the pmshell.exe runs in two instances: first the base GUI starts, then the second pmshell opens the desktop folder.
At me the first is OK, but the second is not. I use an OS/2 command window (via startup.cmd), from where I can start programs (and MiniShell).

The config.sys was not changed after and before the error, so it must work.

These programs does NOT START:

pmshell.exe's second instance
DOS (and Win16) sessions
ODIN sessions (including Innowin - The Innotek Odin, like Acrobatreader 4/5 etc.)
Innotek's Java 1.4.2

Lotus Smartsuite
Opera 5.

These programs load, but don't start. It can be seen with the "top" command line utility, or in FM/2's "Kill" window.
But they can't be killed!

And system shutdown doesn't work too (with the "shutdown" command, or from MiniShell (mshell) utility - because I can't use wps shutdown..).


These programs START CORRECTLY:

pmshell.exe 's first instance (the base GUI)
most VIO programs (eg. File Commander etc.)
simple, or mostly real native os/2 programs, that do not need too much "WPS things"
(e.g.: PMView, PMMail, Lucide, FM/2 and similar progs are working)
Java 1.1, 1.3.1, 1.4.1 (IBM, Golden Code) are OK!
Firefox 3, Seamonkey works!

Internet connection is OK too.

So, what is this? :-)

Two things come to mind.

1)  Is there anything in the desktop dir?  It should contain sub dir with the name of each foldes you had on the desktop.  If it does not then you will never get it back unless you have a backup of it.

2)  How did you change the ini files?  They are read only for a start.  The only was to change them is before you get to a graphics screen, that is , you must boot from disks or cd or the boot blob at start up.  If you try any other way what ever you copied will be overwritten by the ini files in memory when you shut down so going back to the old ones.



The subdirs are OK under the Desktop dir.

I changed the ini files with boot disk.

It can't be ini issue, because replacing the ini files has no effect.

The grafical interface comes up, mouse is working, just the folders don't.
I can use an os2 command window or minishell from startup.cmd without any problems.

But the "Desktop" doesn't launch..
(See the forum history.)

  Maybe this is not your problem, but once I had a similar problem
when I removed the "PROGRAMS" or "FOLDERS" from SET AUTOSTART
line on CONFIG.SYS (I can't remember if it was PROGRAMS or FOLDERS).
   So, search for the line SET AUTOSTART on your CONFIG.SYS and verify
if it is, at least, this way:

SET AUTOSTART=PROGRAMS,TASKLIST,FOLDERS


I checked. This is not problem.

I agree that it sounds like something messed up on the hard disk and / or an ini issue, but one other thing to try:

Revert back to VGA mode.

A while back I ran into an issue on one of my machines where SNAP got messed up and my desktop never came up (the system would hang on a black screen).  By doing the ALT-F1 upon boot trick and selecting the VGA option, I was able to get the system back up and running.   I then ran the uninstall of SNAP, then reinstalled SNAP, and it worked.

I don't know if this will help, but with everything else you've tried, it is worth a try.

I agree.  It sounds like the video driver in some way got corrupted.  If it can boot up in VGA mode, then the SNAP or whatever driver you are using is corrupted.

David

I think, it's not problem. The screen resolutin is OK, it's the same as before.
Tha main problem is, that some programs doesn't start.

Now I changed the hardware under the OS. I put the harddisk into another similar machine.
But no effect. The error is the same.

But this way some hardware dependent errorrs are filtered (motherboard, cpu, memory, hdd controller etc.).

The other thing, I did: I compared the content of the \os2\dll directory with another installed eCS system, and it seems to be OK.

What to do now?

Why don't start some programs? (eg. DOS session, old Mozilla, ODIN things, Rexx system, printing..)

Go to a command prompt and type:

dir nowhere* /ah

See what it says...




Also, as for the found directories, if they are older than when this started, they are probably irrelevant. If one or more of them coincide with when this started, it is possible that you will find a damaged OS/2 system component in one of them.

I did noticed a little script some time ago regarding desktop problems -

/* REXX */
call RxFuncAdd 'SysSetObjectData', 'RexxUtil', 'SysSetObjectData'
rc = SysSetObjectData('C:\Arbeitsoberfläche', 'OBJECTID=<WP_DESKTOP>')
EXIT


No clue if it can change things for you. Or course you have to change C:\Arbeitsoberfläche to your desktop directory.

By the way, do you have more than on Desktop tree? f. i. \Desktop1, \Desktop2...

Thanks, but this script does nothing here (or can't start the REXX subsystem perhaps).

(yes: the REXX subsystem doesn't work.. :-( )

The only other thing I can suggest (other than a reinstall) is to look for a bunch of "FOUND", "FOUND0", etc directories - if you find them, it is indicative of some pretty catastrophic file system error that occurred sometime in the past, which may be the culprit.

And, you can, from a commandline, try running SYSLEVEL and see if anything weird comes up (weird or incorrect version numbers/updates in the list it will generate).

Failing those, you can try booting to the Maintenance Desktop (but dont expect to ever be able to boot to your old desktop again - without even more issues in restoring it - so this is definitely a LAST CASE, DONT WANT TO REINSTALL option).

Sorry I'm out of suggestions... hopefully someone else has some better ones...
Rob


There are "Found" directories, but they are old (eg. 1 year old date etc). Why should it influance the system, the desktop startup now? Why not earlier?

I run syslevel, but I didn't find any strange think in the output.

But thank you for your advices again!

I'm back again..

So, I have already run makeini.exe as the last chance to recreate the ini files, but I have bad news: it couldn't help..

I think, it's clear now, that not the ini files are the bad guys..

But what to do now??

Hi szdl,

If:
(1) you have run makeini (for BOTH ini files... OS2.ini and OS2sys.ini, and from the correct location)
(2) you've tried xfix and found nothing wrong with the linkage for drive c (or whichever drive your desktop is on)
(3) your desktop directory does indeed exist (and if on FAT, the ea files do as well)


Then, I am wondering if some component of the WPS has been changed, damaged, superclassed with something broken (a WPS extender that failed to install correctly and replaced an original WPS component?) or modified?

Is there anything else leading up to this issue that might shed some light on it that you may not have already mentioned?

Robert



1. I can run makeini (from the correct location), on botth files.

2. I can't run xfix. It doesn't start.

3. The desktop directory exists (at the correct location).

I mentioned that replacing the ini files (with older versions) has NO (!) effect, the desktop can't launch this way.
I tried dozens of ini file utilities (from hobbes, os2site..), but they couldn't start or couldn't fix the problem.

And (now I have to restart the system many times) I found that the system boot hangs sometimes (sometimes not). What's it??
(I checked the filesystem (chckdisk /F:2, DFSee) and no errors were found! No hardware has changed (so there are no new cards etc), everything is the same like before. Other OS (Linux, Windows) boots correctly on this machine. And OS/2 worked too - until last week..)
