G'day!

not that it's a real important question, but:

I can't get my copy of the MS Flight Simulator 5.0 to work under (in a DOS
Fullscreen session) OS/2 2.1

It starts up fine, but after a few actions (change throttle, use cursor
keys) the whole computer freezes (but even CTRL-ALT-DEL works any more).

If it's not a hardware problem (386/40, ISA, 8MB RAM, FS5 on a SCSI-HPFS-disk
(Adaptec 1522 controller), plain ET4000 (1 MB RAM) graphics card, SIO1.30
replacing the standard SIO-drivers), there might be a problem with the DOS
settings. 

Could anyone mail me a copy of a working (for this purpose) set of DOS
settings for the DOS box the FS is supposed to run in?

Thanks !


Christian

PS: are there any problems of using a 8bit mono Adlib card under OS/2 (eg for
    the FS5) ?
