Error:

"The program pointed to by the 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.
Suggestion 3.

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