What error? This is sort of crucial information.  Did you run your system's
setup program after you installed the coprocessor? Sometimes they're tricky
to put in all the way, you may want to make sure it's installed properly.
Also, why did you re-install OS/2 after putting it in? That should be
wholly unnecessary.  What kind of computer are you running it on? If it's
an IBM you need the reference disk to run the setup program.  More info,
please...
