Here's another one I just ran across. If you want to try it, make sure you haven't gone into suspend so you can ctrl-alt-del safely if you can't see the screen. OS/2 on a TP750 running in SVGA mode (640x480x256 colors). Open the DOS box settings window. Go down to Video_Mode_Restriction. It defaults to None. Change it to CGA. Close the settings notebook to save the changes. Fire up a DOS box using that object. My results have included: A blank screen (all black), an enlarged strip of the desktop repeated over and over, and a slightly scrambled screen where parts of dialog boxes and windows remain behind after they're closed. In all cases, shutdown either doesn't work or is inaccessible, which is why you need ctrl-alt-del. Can anyone else repeat this? -- John H.
