Installing AWE64 Support under WinOS/2

• Start WinOS/2
• Open WinOS/2 Main Group
• Open Control Panel
• Open Drivers
• Click Add
• Click "Unlisted or Updated Driver"
• Click OK
• Browse, locate the X:\os2\drivers directory and select the sbawed2 directory (should have been installed when you installed OS/2 Warp)
• Click OK (should install four drivers - select what you need)

Next, download the WinOS/2 driver pack following the instructions contained within EXACTLY. This is VERY important!

Next, check your system.ini file settings for the card. They should look similar to this: (note I have not included the entire file, just the lines that are specific to the AWE64 setup and their section headers to help you locate the lines)
