subscription expired) for some months, but lately I find a strange
problem:
When the WPS starts, sometimes it gets lock repeating a loop of the
startup sound while the pointer freezes with the clock cursor.
Sometimes it stays there, sometimes it goes on to a trap:
In one of the cases, I took a snapshot of the screen. Here you have
some of the data of the trap screen:

The system detected an internal processing error at

Internal revision 14.103a_W4
The system is stopped. Record all the above information
contact your service representative.
Strangely this trap screen is so similar to the one at
<news:dggr53$r7h2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (
http://groups.google.es/group/netscape.public.mozilla.os2/msg/5cadc2e9877ea1a0
) that I pasted it and rewrote the different values.
However at n.p.mozilla.os2 it is attributed to Mozilla plugins.
Other times I have got CSLIM:ffffffff.
When I hit reset, in some rare occasions the next start proceeds to a
working WPS, but it mostly keeps locking. It could be related to the
INIs, because I have find that if I go back to a certain version of
the INIs, I will have a working WPS, however running Checkini,
Cleanini, Iconomize or FPos to fix the INIs does not guarantee a
working session after I close.
I have also tried shuffling some of the icons in the Startup folder
but it does not seem to have an influence. Currently I have: TCP/IP
startup, CAD-Popup, XCenter, Scheduler Helper, MMOS2 Updater,
LSwitcher, Removable Device Monitor 1.2.
Following some similar messages on the Internet I have updated to the
latest DaniS506 (1.8.1) and I activated UltraDMA5, but I don't see any
difference.
Some idea on what is causing these errors?
(I am going to post this also in news://news.ecomstation.com,
apologies to those seen it more than once)

if your system can be started to a command shell by using ALT-F1 during the boot blob then you most likely have corrupted INI-files. Try Checkini.exe (see hobbes) to fix it. Because this requires a complete boot to WPS you might be forced to create new INI files in a different directory using MakeIni.exe updating config.sys variables USER.INI and SYSTEM.INI, booting and then using checkini.exe pointing to your originals for fixing.
Hope this helps.

Hi David,
I have forgotten to say that OS2SYS.INI sometimes gets corrupted during shutdown. The "object to path" or "handle" table is not completely written. This would exactly lead to the symptoms you describe. You can see that easily when you note the size of OS2SYS.INI and compare it after a bad start of WPS after boot. If smaller then OS2SYS.INI is corrupted. I could correct that by using kernel 14.105_W4 in my Warp 4.52 system (not ECS). No more problems with WPS since then.
Regards
Uwe
