Small problem with seamless Windows support on this machine -

If I start up a Windows app seamlessly on the WPS then OS/2 goes through
the usual clunks and crunches to get tjhe Windows kernel loaded. As it
does so, the (grey background) open folders on the WPS go a revolting
shade of green and the background bitmap colours get screwed up totally.
The Windows app still runs okay and using its own proper colours.

However, if I run *any* text-based DOS application full screen and then
quit from it I find that the problem is solved and the WPS colours are
back to normal *and* that the Windows app is still running as before with
the same colours. Furthermore, if I load up any further seamless Windows
apps then they come up okay without any colour mangling. If I quit from
all the Windows apps and start again with another one then the problem
reappears so it seems to me that the problem is connected with the
initial loading of the 'shareable' Windows code. (I understand that some
parts of the Windows code is shared between Windows sessions)

Rather odd one this and highly irritating. I've made up an object on the
WPS called 'Reset Screen' which basically just knocxks the system into
text mode and exits straight off, but this is obviously kludge of the
week.

Can anyone help? Relevant machine specs are ET4000 based card using the
Service Pak 1024x768x256 drivers, 8Mb RAM, loads of disk space, Intel
386-33DX.
