- I am using an ATI high-res Windows driver for WPW with no problems.
- (I have an ATI VGA Wonder card)
- When you replace the Windows driver you can no longer run Windows
- programs seamless on the OS/2 desktop, but they run fine full screen.
-
- I forget the name of the driver to replace, but its in the OS/2 FAQ.
- Just copy the driver over the old one from an OS/2 or DOS window
- (backup the old one first of course). As long as no windows programs
- are running when you do the copy there is no problem.
