Ray,
Warp-II has a problem with WinOS2 driver setup, at least for Tseng ET4000A
adapters (and maybe others). Check the contents of the [boot] section of
your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI file - it may need to be updated to look like the
following:
;-- display.drv=vga.drv
;-- fdisplay.drv=vga.drv
;-- sdisplay.drv=vga.drv
;-- Corrections for Warp-II 08/25/94 --
; (fdisplay.drv apparently needs to be same as display.drv)
display.drv=wspdsf.drv
sdisplay.drv=wspdssf.drv
fdisplay.drv=wspdsf.drv
