IBM PC730/PC750 - Win-OS/2 fails after dual booting from DOS/Windows

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
IBM PC 700 Series 6877 and 6887 may fail to run any groups or icons in the WIN-OS/2 or Windows Program folder after the system has been dual booted from DOS/Windows.

Problem Isolation Guidance:
This failure occurs if CoSession was loaded in Windows 3.11 while in the DOS/Windows environment and the "Go to OS/2" icon is used to dual boot back to an OS/2 environment.

Fix:
Either of the following methods may be used to eliminate exposure to this situation if CoSession was started while in the
DOS/Windows environment:

1) Exit out of Windows 3.11 and use the "BOOT /OS2" command from the C: OS2 directory.

2) Exit out of Windows and then restart Windows. The "Go to OS/2" icon may then be used to dual boot to OS/2.
