If it doesn't, hitting alt f1 when the block comes on in the upper right corner on bootup will allow you to switch back to vga and then you can install the original drivers. Also, Tseng labs has a web site, http://www.tseng.com There weren't any OS/2 drivers there except for the ET6000, but there was a support e-mail contact. It might be worth a try asking them. I hope that's of some interest, Kevin
