OS/2 Warp Recovery Choices Program
The Recovery Choices Program built into OS/2 Warp
provides a means to recover from some problems that
prevent OS/2 Warp from loading successfully, such as:
Ÿ
A video mode not supported by your hardware
Ÿ
An incorrect statement in the OS/2 Warp
CONFIG.SYS file
Ÿ
A damaged .INI file
Ÿ
A hard disk error
If you get an unreadable screen or a message that OS/2
Warp cannot start correctly, you can try to resolve the
problem using the Recovery Choices Program.
To start the Recovery Choices Program:
1. Power-on the computer. If the computer is already
on, restart it using the Ctrl
+
Alt
+
Del key sequence.
2. When a small white box appears in the upper
left-hand corner of the screen, press Alt
+
F1.
3. When the Recovery Choices screen appears, select
from the following:
Ÿ
Esc: Quits the Recovery Choices program and
continues the OS/2 Warp boot (startup)
sequence.
Ÿ
C: Gives you access to an OS/2 command
prompt.
Ÿ
V: Resets the video mode to a base VGA mode
and restarts the computer. After the computer
restarts, you can select another video mode, if
necessary.
Ÿ
X: Restores OS/2 Warp to its original state (as it
was originally installed).
Ÿ
1, 2, or 3: Starts OS/2 Warp using a set of
configuration files used during one of the last
three times OS/2 Warp was started. The date
when these files were archived appears next to
each selection. These selections do not appear
on the Recovery Choices screen unless you
previously opened the Desktop Settings
notebook and selected Create archive at each
system restart from the Archive page.
For more information about the Recovery Choices
program, refer to the
Master Help Index located in the
Information folder on the OS/2 Desktop.
