I attempted install of Scitech utility and it
hung my system. When I reboot, my system does not even get into the GUI - it says the system has stopped.
Question: Can I "step through" boot up as with Windows, or load with default drivers, or, or ...???
I'm new with OS/2 (Warp v4) so suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.

Use ALT-F1 when you see the OS/2 prompt in the upper left corner.

Did you install plain VGA first before attempting to install the SciTech drivers?

Hey! I owe BOTH you guys a beer for your suggestions! Using ALT F2, I reset to plain VGA, 'cause I was too darn lazy to reset before Scitech install (you know, the "Can't happen to ME!" thing). But now all is fine. Just one more itty-bitty question ...
My MS Intellimouse (with scroll) moves great horizontally, but I can only move it vertically if I move the mouse up/down quickly. A driver problem? I can't seem to find an OS/2 driver for this anywhere.
Can you help? THANKS!

First, try the AMouse driver, if that one doesn't work, go for the IBM Scrollpoint driver (both to be found at os2.org.(.
