you need the disk images of the FixPack in extracted format. Read the readme1st file of the pack and follow the instructions.

I suggest you put the diskettes on a CD and use
the SimplyFix 4.1 GA program to install the pack.

Tou can download the install program from hobbes

ciao, os2power

I forgot to mention, I can't get OS/2 to boot into the gui, a window comes up with an error

the window it is in is titled "workplace shell" it says:

The program pointed to by the SET RUNWORKPLACE= line in CONFIG.SYS could not be started
