Hi,

I've come accross a very annoying problem
with Warp 4.0.  I have an S3 TRIO 64+ based 
card and have Warp drivers 2.85.02 and 
2.84.14 (which came with Warp).  Every time
I try to change the drivers from normal VGA
to the S3 drivers, I lose Warp Sans which is
pretty annoying especially in the Properties
folders, as a system font (ie BIG) is used
instead.

How can I get my WarpSans back?

As a related problem I tried using the default
S3 driver (2.81.12), which worked fine, except
that I could open WinOS2 beyond 800x600.  If I
set my resolution more than this, WinOS2 just refuses
to open.  Has anyone ever experienced this and found
a work around?

TIA,
Randy

Save a copy of DSPRES.DLL from before you install the drivers and overwrite it
with the saved copy after the install. If the install asks you if it should
replace the file, say no.

Don't let the install program overwrite DSPRES.DLL.
