Hi Harry,
That is exactly what it says here, too.

It is still there.

I tried using the copy of PMSHELL.EXE from my eCS partition, which boots
up just fine. (I replaced the copy of pmshell.exe in the OS2/ Warp
directory with the one from the eCS directory).

When I try to boot into OS/2 Warp, it still hangs at the same spot with
the same message.

Any idea what I can do at this point?

Thanks,
Sandy
