6.0.34.1.2 is a 16 bit database for OS/2 1.x and it is unsupported on OS/2 2.x (Yes - I know it works, but in some remote circumstances it does strange things) Upgrade to 6.0.34.2.1 or 6.0.36.1.1 which are 32 bit databases.

If you're running over IBM TCP/IP then definitely apply the Case patch for OS/2.

You can (and should if you want to since it seems to be more stable) but avoid using the multimedia stuff since it sometimes does wierd things to CASE.

Yes

Not really - The database you're running is for os/2 1.x and I dunno what patches you installed but I dont think you have any.
