Aptiva - 2144/2168 (SL-H) Update for Launchpad errors on models preloaded with OS/2 and Windows 3.11

Applicable to: United States

P/N
kidstsr

Description
Executing this file starts a program which will create a bootable floppy diskette. If the one is getting "file not found", or "file corrupted", or "can't open file", the file KIDSTSR.COM is probably causing the problem. This disk installs a newer version which will eliminate the problem. The bootable diskette runs a program which replaces the existing file with a new KIDSTSR.COM.

NOTE: Use on Aptiva Mxx Systems with OS/2-Win3.11 load ONLY.
Do NOT use on Windows95 Preloaded systems.
