- I have had the same problem, I solved it by re-installing OS/2 GA and
- then installing the Service Pack (I assume the behaviour appeared
- after you installed the Service Pack). The only problem now is that
- when I open a DOS window I lose sync on my monitor. I have to press
- "Alt-Home" to make the window full-screen and then "Alt-home" to bring
- it back to a window session. My screen looks all "screwed-up" at this
- point and requires a "refresh" from the desktop pop-up menu. BTW, I
- have an ATI Wonder and I am using Joel's 800x600x256 V 1.0 driver.

- Has anybody come across this problem?
