Yes, that is an os/2 file, and you can delete it.
You can call the 800 numbe and they will walk you through it, here is
what I remember of it....
You will have to use the attrib command on it,
attrib -r -s -h ea*.sys
and then I think you will have to del ea*?sys
to get rid of it, it needs the wildcards to delete it.
Good luck, like I said, call the 800 line and they will walk you through it..
