IBM PC730/PC750 - System hang running MS Excel with OS/2 Warp Connect
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
IBM PC 700 Series 6877 & 6887 systems preloaded with OS/2 WARP Connect may exhibit a system hang condition running Microsoft Excel in seamless mode with a video resolution above 640 x 480 (VGA).
When Excel is started, the OS/2 Desktop colors begin to change. The following error message is displayed after Excel is started in seamless mode when the user tries to access an Excel object:
"An application error has occurred, if you choose to ignore, your data will be lost"
Problem Isolation Aids :
This failure does not occur if the video resolution is configured for 640 x 480.  All resolutions from 800 x 600 through 1600 x 1200 exhibit the failure.
The IBM OS/2 Base Operating System CSD Level is "XR03003" or lower when viewed with the SYSLEVEL command in an OS/2 Window or OS/2 Full Screen.
Systems configured to use the S3 Trio 64/64v+ video drivers are not affected.
Fix :
An update for OS/2 WARP Connect has been developed to eliminate this problem.  Request the latest Fix Pak for OS/2 WARP Connect or the update that resolves APAR PJ22696.
