Make sure you type: C:\OS2\SVGA.EXE on monitor then type AUTO when the screen reappears. After that is all done open a DOS full screen and go to your OS2 directory and type SVGA on DOS. This creates a svgadata.dos. Delete the svgadata.pmi and rename it svgadata.pmi. Also make sure you use IBM's Warp 4 drivers from: http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/index.htm Kevin zoob@mwci.net
