For the past two years CheckINI won't run on my main machine. It runs
for a few minutes and then hangs the system (the clock stops). The hang
is always in a different place. Sometimes I can reboot with
Ctrl-Alt-Del and sometimes I have to do a cold reboot.

We've been over this problem several times before and I don't want to
rehash it, but maybe I'm missing an option in UniMaint which I run
before I run CheckINI. I run these three UniMaint repairs:

Do All WPS, PM and File Handle Repairs
Do All Individual INI File Repairs
Do Aggressive File Handles Repair

Is there any other UniMaint repair I should run?

Also, I remember someone warning that CleanINI (which I haven't run in a
long time) shouldn't be run until CheckINI runs successfully. I don't
recall what CleanINI trashes, but since CheckINI always hangs, is it
okay to run CleanINI anyway and see what happens? Do I just need to
restore the OS2*.INI files if CleanINI messes things up?
