C: Gives you access to an OS/2 command prompt. V: Resets the video mode to a base VGA mode and restarts the computer. After the computer restarts, you can select another video mode, if necessary. X: Restores OS/2 Warp to its original state (as it was originally installed). 1, 2, or 3: Starts OS/2 Warp using a set of configuration files used during one of the last three times OS/2 Warp was started. The date when these files were archived appears next to each selection. These selections do not appear on the Recovery Choices screen unless you previously opened the Desktop Settings notebook and selected Create archive at each system restart from the Archive page.
