Although I'm no expert with OS/2 (yet), I've been using Warp Connect for a
while without much problems at all, and I'll be more than happy to help
you in any way I can (with my limited knowledge). Better yet, I'll forward
your message to os2 user group here at MIT, and someone who are more
knowledgeable with OS/2 can help you also...
Anyway, maybe you can start by giving some more details of your system
and setups such as video, memory and others.
Also, you may consider posting your problems to OS/2 newsgroups such as
comp.os.os2.misc, comp.os.os2.setup.misc, comp.os.os2.setup.video,
comp.os.os2.multimedia, etc...
Good luck.
