Error:
SET RUNWORKPLACE= line in config.sys, this file, could not be started.
- Suggestion 1.
Boot from a diskette, or CD-ROM, do a "chkdsk c: /f"
- Suggestion 2.
Modify OS2.INI with regedit2
Instructions
- use Alt-F1 at boot-up, then choose F4 (Maintenance Desktop)
- minimize the big window which covers the Desktop and move the Selective Install window out of the way
- from the System->Command Prompts folder, open an OS/2 window
- if you have a preferred ini-editor run it from there, otherwise run "regedit2"
- select os2.ini (a.k.a. the "user profile")
- locate the "SYS_DLLS" entry, and under that select "LoadPerProcess"
- in the data for this entry, confirm that each dll name listed is separated by a space. In a standard install, you should see "PMCTLS SND". If instead, you see "PMCTLSSND ", then this is the problem. Use the editor to insert a space, then exit and reboot.

Recreate the INI files (Custom desktop icons shadows (shourtcuts) may be lost)
