What version of OS/2 are you running.  You need to be running 1.2 or be running
1.1 with the latest CSD's applied.  The current version of Smalltalk
V/PM is 1.1.
You should have received a free upgrade if your software was registered.  I've
found Digitalk's support to be very good.  I've never tried their phone support
but they have a forum on Compuserve and they have been very responsive
to questions
posted to that forum.
