Hi All, I've been having heaps of trouble with OS/2 since i bought a new *monitor* (yep, weird hey?). My system: 486dx2/66, 16 meg RAM, OS/2 2.1, Diamond Stealth Pro 2 meg VRAM VESA graphics card, NEC 4FGe monitor, 125 meg IDE HDD, 250 meg IDE HDD (both Maxtor), Promise disk controller, Pro Audio Studio card, NEC CDR-84 cd-rom drive. I had been running OS/2 at 800*600 for ages without a hiccup, having the Stealth card set to "fixed rate" for the monitor type. A week ago i bought the NEC 4FGe, plugged it in, booted to DOS and ran STLMODE.EXE to change the Stealth card monitor setting to 4FG, then ran it through all the VGA/extended VGA modes without a hitch. Then i booted up OS/2 and it hung in a big way (needed the big reset button). I have tried installing new drivers (first setting OS/2 back to VGA) but everytime the workplace shell goes to load up, the system dies. Everything works fine under DOS. Any ideas? Cheers, Doug (doug@citr.uq.oz.au)
