You cannot start the session manager simply by running it interactively
from DCL. You should invoke @sys$manager:decw$startup to start
DECwindows.
What do you mean by "after booting the session manager freezed my
screen"? When you connect via LAT can you do a show system command?
Do you see a DECW$SERVER_n process? If not, then your server crashed
not the session manager. There will likely be a log files in
sys$manager:decw$server*.log.

I see decw$server_0. I am logged in under decwindows as system-
I see the icon box - and before the 2 windows are created the
decwindows-systems hangs (i see the red watch ...)
the i go to a vt220 - connect via lat to v5.2 and there i see the
message "bad parameter value" when I do
$ run sys$system:decw$session
This statement is in decw$startsm.com and that file is started after
DECW$startup.com
So i am hanging 4 statements before the end !!!
i have set SRPcount 600, irpcount 300,lrpcount 50,npagedyn 500 000,
pagedyn 500 000, virtualpagecnt 25 000, gblpages 25 000, gblsections
300 ...

Decw$session expects sys$input to be a WSAn device type. That is
why you cannot run it interactively.
I don't know exactly why the session manager is hanging when you
try to login, but I suspect that something is wrong with either a
*login.com file or decw$xdefaults.dat. Is there anything in your
*login.com files that does a DCL INQUIRE statement perhaps?
