When im running OS2 in a virtual machine, the virtual machine takes up CPU time on the host even when OS2 is idle.

How i can solve this problem, in MSDOS there is program called DOSIDLE, but it doesnt work on OS2

If i remember VMWARE does not support OS/2 , so there is no solution available .
You dont need any idle program because OS/2 itself put processor on idle when no work is done.

So feal lucky if you can run it on VMWARE , just that .

I will advise you to use VPC , virtual PC , because it is stated to support OS/2 in windows versions. I use it also on eCOmstation .
