thanks, Paul.

yes... I *did* see it in the readme, I *did* insert config.sys entry, it
failed with 'no such file';

I then looked back at the USB stuff, and, couldn't find the USBEHCD.SYS....

so, I REMed it

*now* that you pointed out, I unzipped the USB stack, guess what:

now, I do have USBEHCD.SYS....

anyhow, now that I've found the USBEHCD.SYS... and, un-remed it..:

I went from 6 minutes down to 1:40 !

thanks again, that was worth the effort of plugging in the card !!

(meanwhile, I 'stuffed up' my ram stick:
I was trying to format it as JFS, now, I can't even format as as HPFS,
and, I can't remember how I done it in the 1st place...)

Hardly 40 times faster is it?  Should have gone down to about 9 seconds!

Hi Voytek,

Did you try LVM /NEWMBR:# where # is the disk # allocated to it, 
followed by recreating the volume?

probably because you (from memory) have /REMOVABLES:4 - this creates 4 
drive letters even if the drive isn't connected...

With cwUSBMSD I don't use /REMOVABLES at all and the card reader still 
works..

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Peter,

If it isn't visible, the program window's "opened" position is probably 
off the screen completely - RMB on it in the Task-list and select 
CASCADE or TILE to make it visible again, then drag and resizr it to 
what you want.

Subject:   Time widget

Hi all

I have just been alerted that my e-mails are going out with the wrong 
time on them.  I went to the "Locale" object and checked it all out and 
found 2 problems.

1. I have set it for 24hr format, but the widget shows in 12hr format. 
Does anyone know what I've done wrong?

2. Can anyone give me a clue as to why the time stamp on top of my 
e-mails is wrong.  BTW, my eCentre colck widget says 04:08:xx PM. 
Compare that with the time stamp you receive.

Thanx in advance

Hi Kev,

After you have set the locale to 12 or 24 hour you then have to click on 
"Mark as default"  on the "Action" menu there! The WarpCenter/eComCenter 
clock doesn't take effect until after a REBOOT, unlike the Object 
Desktop Digital Clock display!

 From your headers this is what shows up here : [2.08 P.M. in INBOX 
[os2genau folder]]

I usually right click the desktop and then clisk cascade.

Seems that sometimes applications can start way off the desktop viewport.
