Jason, What version of OS/2 is it? Is is "for Windows" (i.e. using the original Windows code) or is it with Windows built-in (i.e. fullpak)? Most likely the customer installed something under Windows. It may be a video driver or unsupported version of Win32s... You can try: selective reinstall of Windows support open a fullscreen DOS session and run WIN /B, watch the messages. Thanks, <G>reg ---> DeskMan/2 utilities (WZ00329 on TalkLink, 71052,720 on CIS)
