   In a message on Monday 01-31-16 Jean Parrot said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   JP> Me again, Holger.   
      
    HG> Talked to a serviceman at a computer service, and he showed on the   
    HG> control panel the language setup screen that I may have to import   
    HG> the language package.   
      
   JP> 	I doubt this as I think that deep under, it is all in English,   
   JP> Merikan !   
      
   Yes that is my opinion too, it shouldn't be so difficult to wake it up.   
      
   My setup screen doesn't tell me that the language package has to be   
   imported, as it does for other packages.   
      
    HG> That is wrong. OS/2 had a GUI already in v2.1 when I installed it 1993.   
    HG> That GUI grew better with Warp3 and improved again with Warp4 in 1996.   
      
   JP> 	I would be guilty of this too. I have never seen an OS/2 machine.   
      
   As noticed, hi.   
      
   JP> At times, even on this W-10 machine, I go to the C:\ and give it   
   JP> some DOS command. I randomly go to Safe mode and do the same.   
      
   Very often that is a much faster way to get things done, than to chase   
   that rat on the screen to different "stations".   
      
   JP> 	At the moment, my Lenovo has a bug, Intel Agent is controlling the   
   JP> booting and after so many years, I forgot how to disable it. It came   
   JP> back active as I thought that I had to re-flash the BIOS. Shoot !   
      
   The first place to look for it, would of course be in the BIOS.   
   IIRC you get there by pressing F1 at booting. Normally the key combo is   
   shown on the screen at booting, but that can be disabled in the BIOS.
