I have found two problems with graphic card driver installation and
the Config.sys editor, Tyra/2.

The Check Paths function tells you that you can delete D:\ from the
LIBPATH and SET PATH. This is wrong. Without the D:\ the Setup.cmd
file from any GRADD based graphic card driver will abort with an
error message complaining that OS2BOOT can't be found. So you should
not allow Tyra/2 to delete D:\ from LIBPATH and SET PATH. If it is
already deleted you should add it to your LIBPATH and SET PATH
statements.

If your change history in the config.sys file grows long, the
dspinstl.exe program which is used during a graphic card driver
install won't start. So if you encounter any problems during a
graphic card driver install, or you can't reset you system to VGA
during the boot, you should try to delete the change history from
your config.sys file.

It seems to me that the dspinstl.exe reads the config.sys file and
tries to find the COUNTRY= and SET LANG= entries. The long section of
comments at the beginning of the config.sys confuses dspinstl.exe and
it will stop.

The next version of Tyra/2 will take care of the problems.

Sorry for all the trouble you may have had.

Tyra/2 is an easy to use OS/2 config.sys file editor and can be found
