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
