             OS/2 2.1 PRE-VIDEO INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
        OS/2 2.1 POST-VIDEO INSTALLATION RECOVERY PROCEDURE
  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  The following procedure should ALWAYS be used prior to changing
  OS/2 video modes. It resets the video mode of an OS/2 system to
  the most basic VGA video mode.

  In cases where a video mode has been selected which is not
  supported by the hardware and the system appears to be locked up,
  i.e., the screen is blank and there doesn't appear to be any
  response from the keyboard or mouse, the user may boot the system
  using the OS/2 "Installation" and "Disk 1" technique to boot a
  full screen OS/2 session from the floppy drive and, from this
  session, apply this procedure to recover control of the system.

  A: If you are using this procedure to regain control of your
     computer after installing an unsupported video mode START HERE
     else go to STEP B.

     1. Insert the OS/2 installation disk labeled "Installation
        Diskette" in drive A: and reboot the computer.
     2. When the prompt to "insert Diskette 1" appears, replace the
        installation disk with "Disk 1" and press Enter.
     3. When the prompt to continue appears, press ESCape. After
        some delay a full screen OS/2 session prompt will appear.


  B: If you installed OS/2 from diskettes:

    1.  Be sure RSPDSPI.EXE is in the \OS2\INSTALL directory.  If
        it is, go to step 2.  If it is not, insert Installation
        Diskette 8 and unpack RSPDSPI.EXE with the following
        command:

        C:\OS2\UNPACK A:\INSTAID C: /N:RSPDSPI.EXE

          where: A: is the drive containing Installation Diskette 8
                 C: is the drive where OS/2 2.1 is installed

     2.  Type C:; then press Enter
     3.  Type CD C:\OS2\INSTALL; then press Enter
     4.  Type RSPDSPI /PK:VGA /SK:NONE /S:A:\ /T:C:; then press
