- The reason could be that you're using a SuperVGA driver for your
- Win-OS/2 full screen session. With the exception of ATI's new
- SuperVGA drivers, OS/2 can't run a Win-OS/2 session in SuperVGA in the
- background. (See your OS/2 README file about this.)

- The solution? You might try just leaving Win-OS/2 full screen running
- as you shut down. (Take it out of the Startup folder.) Then, when
- you start up again, OS/2 will run it (in the foreground). That will
- throw you straight into Win-OS/2, and keep it running.
