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 (shortcuts) may be lost)
- Execute in the command line
makeini os2.ini ini.rc makeini os2sys.ini inisys.rc
