Hi everyone,

There's a simple fix for the DOS issue in ArcaOS.  It involves the DOS
subsystem video driver.

The fix is this: go into your CONFIG.SYS and look for this line:

DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS

and change it to this:

DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VSVGA.SYS /INT10TEXTGRFXSAFE

Reboot your computer and you shouldn't have any more issues with DOS
windows.

Like it was said, Arca is aware of this but this problem involves going
deeper than they're currently allowed into the OS/2 kernel so they are
trying to get permission from IBM to fix this.

Later,
Sean
