I don't use os/2 and I have turned it off in the bios but when I boot it boots to a blue page with OS/2 Warp and that is as far as I get. Any suggestions?:disgust:
 
Please post some more information such as what type of hardware you are using, what OS you are running, if you ever had OS2 installed, and etc.

Never had os/2 before. Have done the google thing a few times. Done the anti-vir,spyware thing to.
 
Can you boot with a floppy drive and open the boot.ini file from the C drive? If you can get to this, can you post it's contents?

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
I'm confused. Is OS/2 installed or not?

No never was.
Can you take a picture of the screen?

I have one but don't know how to post it.
 
I believe pics are posted via a http or ftp address. A pic will really help all of us figure out what happened. I'm not getting this OS/2 Warp stuff at all and how you "turned it off" in the bios.

OS/2 is an old OS (still used albeit rarely).
 
I think the OS2 setting he is refering to in the BIOS is the one that is in a lot of BIOS wher you can select NON OS2 or OS2 with greater than 64 MB of RAM. This should not prevent the system from booting with either setting. I just tried it on my wifes computer, boots fine either way.

If you are referring to me, I am telling it to the best of my knowledge.
