Hi HCM
once again I come with a question ! you wrote:

Yes, this behavior is true but the WPS properties with its 2nd
TAB "Archives" allows you to postpone the selection of the
Recovery Choice for a preset amount of seconds !
Exspecially for todays speedy system this setting is recommended
to be able to match the choice !!

However I faced this circumstances changing from my old 75MHz
Pentium Notebook to a 600MHz Desktop System and had to set this
for 3 to 5 seconds ;-) So I am not too slow anymore to choose
correct ;-))

At that point in time I was having problems with the Hardware
Manager. I
could not set it to "Full Hardware Detection" and have it
successfully
boot my system. It was getting hung on something in my SNOOP.LST
file. I
therefore was working/modifying the SNOOP.LST file to get rid of
the
offending references.

My only means of knowing that I was successful was to get a
successful
bootup with "Full Hardware Detection". However, it the bootup was
not
successful, I had to return the Hardware Manager to "No
Detection" in
order to bootup. You can do that my hitting ALT-F1 (or is it
ALT-F2????)
during the bootup to bring up a menu. However, often times my
system
would blow right past ALT-F1. I would not be able to get the menu
and
change the hardware manager. The result was an unsuccessful boot.
I had
to have a sure way (read that to include an "easy way") of
changing the
Hardware Manager back to "No Detection". Hence a batch file on my
OS/2
boot diskettes.
