G'day All!

I've something a little weird happening here, and was wondering if any here
had seen it (and better yet, know how to fix it).

It seems that graphic proggies in a DOS box have some trouble after running
win-os2. The main offender is X-Wing (yeah, I still play that, and doom
don't work here!), although other wee things exhibit the same behaviour.
Before windows, all is spiffy; after a windows session, if I try loading a
VGA320*200 or better programme, it hangs the DOS box in a rather permanent
fashion. Even "Shutdown System" doesn't kill it, it needs the
reset button.

All else runs as it should, it's just that with a machine as far down the
food chain as mine, one can't afford to have dead sessions sitting about
doing nothing much... 

Any suggestions?

have fun
