When the WPS starts, sometimes it gets lock repeating a loop of the

Sometimes it stays there, sometimes it goes on to a trap:

TRAP 0008 ERRCD=0000 ERACC=**** ERLIM=********

I forgot to say that ExeInfo gives:

My experience and answer is different than others.

I have always gotten this message when there is something wrong with a driver file. For some reason, the startup code in Obj. #2 of OS2KRNL doesn't re-act or interact correctly as it should. I suspect some loading procedure or interrupt procedure.

Remove as many drivers as possible, including FLT, ADD, SYS, SNP, IFS, DMD, etc. and see if the problem goes away.

Or ... make a different bootable source, such as a CD, diskette, partition, with the exact same files, and see if the problem goes away.

And on ... and on.

Of course there is always going back to a previous setup that did not have this problem. But, be prepared for it to happen again.
