[THIN] Re: DOS program not working in Citrix

I am trying to run a program that runs in cmd prompt window.  It runs
fine on XP and 2K3 server.  But on our Citrix servers with W2k w/ 2
processors and hyperthreading it will not run.  It hangs a the cmd
window at c:\WINNT\System32\OS2.exe

I don't know why it is even pulling up os2.exe on the 2k servers but
again I don't know anything about 0s2.exe.

I have tried turning down the affinity on ntvdm.exe to only use one
processor but that isn't working.  

If you have any other questions just ask.  I appreciate everyone
response.

Sorry, I only barged in the thread part way through, regarding os2.exe -
and I've deleted the previous messages...

Can you elaborate again?
