Well, I just tried that . . . :))

I ran UniMaint this morning and it found no errors at all. "Great,"
says I to myself, "now I'll run CheckIni and see if it will work."
(CheckIni hasn't been able to run to completion on this machine for
about 8 months.)

So I ran CheckIni without parameters and it reported tons of errors,
*including* multiple handles pointing to my just-installed UniMaint.
Suspicious, but I figured I'd continue.

Then I ran CHECKINI /C /S /Y:2 /W so it would automatically fix
everything and give me a report.

SOM.DLL 0001:00014bcf

------------------------------------------------------------

For each SYS3171 the CHECKINI window remained on the screen but my
Desktop went away and the background turned blue. (There was nothing
else open. No other programs were running and no folders were open.)

Note that the three SYS3171's ("not enough room left on the stack") are
all in PMSHELL but appear to be from different causes since the
addresses are different. In particular, the third one refers to
SOM.DLL.

I rebooted and my Desktop came up but my VIO windows wouldn't start, and
E.EXE would SYS3170 ("unhandled fatal user [non-system] exception
through DosRaiseException") whenever I closed it.

Since CHECKINI makes a safety copy of the OS2*.INI files, I rebooted to
my Maintenance partition (which closes the Production partition OS2*.INI
files), restored the OS2*.INI files that CHECKINI had safety-copied, and
rebooted to my Production partition. Everything then worked fine, so it
appears that whatever caused the CHECKINI-PMSHELL SYS3171's resulted in
my VIO window failures. (I seem to remember that there are some
settings in the .ini files regarding VIO fonts, window sizes, etc, and
maybe those were scrambled or deleted by CHECKINI.)

> Next, I run cleanini.exe

I suppose I'll try CLEANINI next, since UniMaint doesn't find anything
else to fix and CHECKINI causes SYS3171's. When I ran CLEANINI without
any parameters earlier it saw a lot of errors. Here's what I'm going to
try:

CLEANINI /C /LOG:CLEANINI.LOG-20010907

I'm not going to use any of the /DEL* parameters yet, nor /MULTIPASS or
/REMOTE:x. If my basic CLEANINI run is successful, I'll try these
later.

What are the Vegas odds that this will work?
