I have a strange problem with QEMM 5.10 and Windows. Windows will boot up in
386 enhanced mode, but the colors will be wrong. There is a shift towards
yellow and green, so that white is a rather dim yellow-green. Also, the
writing on the 3-D bars and icons is not visible. Any non-Windows application
can not be seen (background color=foreground color, I would guess).

If I boot Windows in one of the other modes, everything is fine. The only
noticeable difference in the way that it boots up is that normally, (w/o QEMM,
or in real or standard mode), the "please wait"  hourglass appears after the
WIndows Screen on a black background. With QEMM, a blue screen with a green
border appears (!), then the puke-yellow screen comes up with the hourglass.
Even the chess desktop is puke yellow.

Hardware is an IBM PS/2 with VGA. Any help or fellow horror stories would be
appreciated. Quarterdeck says that this is anew one on them, too.
