 	*Sigh.*  My install of OS/2 was going so well, too.  I
installed the general release of OS/2, and then placed the CSD atop of
it without incident.  I was really impressed with the speed and
multitasking of the system.  So I decided I would go ahead and install
the 800x600x256 Tseng driver.  I successfully negotiated the Welcome
folder mystery, and appear to have successfully installed the hi-res
driver.   
	
	The *Problem* is one I alluded to in an earlier question.  I
have a generic Tseng board that relies on a peice of software to set
it into its various modes.  One of the most important of these modes
from my standpoint is one which changes the refresh rate of the card
to a lower one than is the default.  See, I have a relatively old
multisync monitor; it only goes to 800x600, and (I think) at 60 hz ( I
use the command "vmode 35k".  In DOS, I would simply run the program
in my autoexec bat file if I intended to use 800x600 Windoze.   
 
	Failure to set this switch properly, in Windows and OS/2,
results in a violently swimming screen, totally unreadable, once the
graphics (in my case, the OS/2 desktop) appear on the screen. And if I
recall my previous Windows misery with this problem, once the screen
is screwed, running the program doesn't help. 
 
	So what I need, ideally, folks, is a way of having OS/2
calling this little DOS utility BEFORE it initializes its desktop.  I
am certain that if we can do this, everything will look OK (though the
screen is fairly messed up, I can see windows changing if I hit
alt-esc and so on.   There _has_ to be a way to do this -- please
help!!! 
 
	Barring that, I am going to need some way to remove my
"failed" driver and returning to a usable screen.   
 
	Oh, yeah -- one big thing working in our favor.  I formatted
under the normal FAT arrangment, with Dual Boot.   I _can_ get at my
files and utilities right now.  
 
	Help gratefully accepted!!
