Hi all, I just upgraded my system from a 486-33dx 8MB to a P90 with 16MB and dos 
sessions refuse to work. every time a dos session is started a SYS3175 error is
returned and the session is killed.

This happens for window and full screen. Now the copy of warp i have is the 
gamma version and so I tried the GA version of 2.1 which I have installed in 
another partition but the same thing happens. 

I even reinstalled the 2.1 version thinking that that will help but it didnt.

Nothing else is wrong its only the dos sessions that dont work. Very strange...

Some details about my new system.

PCI P90 with 16mb of ram
Motherboard has inbuilt EIDE hd controller; used 
PCI cirrus logic 5430 video card
old hd controller used for the floppy drive.
sb16asp
panasonic cdrom


BTW: when I first tried to start warp because the internal hd controller was 
used and the hd connection on the card in the isa slot was not disabled, it 
crashed but when it was disabled it was fine.


Please anyone if you now what is happening do email me as I have xposted it to 
several newsgroups and I dont have the time to check all of them.

thanks.

PS: is there a way to change the video driver without having os2 accessing that 
dos program which determines the hardware? I cant change my video driver I am 
stuck with vga and 16 colors.
