I am having the same problem are mentioned above.  I had Windows and the Mach
Driver installed before I attempted the Warp installation, and I've tried
everything I can think of to get WinOS2 to work, but so far all I get is a
black screen with just a mouse pointer visible.  The computer is still active
and I can exit WinOS2 by double clicking in the upper left corner (where the
program manager close gadget should be) and I'll end up back in OS2.  This 
happens in both full screen Windows and in WinOS2.
