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

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.
