1. Seamless feature lost to Windows apps
Since pulling the plug on Netscape Beta 2, I have lost ability to run Windows apps on the desktop
(Warp 3.0 Fixpak 22 level). They cross-hatch momentarily and then quit without coming close
to opening. SEAMLESS.DLL is in place. I can open Program Manager and run them from there
or from a Full-Screen Win-OS/2 session, but even then they hesitate and sometimes lock up OS/2
tight.
I have the dreaded Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM with S3 drivers version 1.02 installed at 1024x768x64K.
I have tried reinstalling them, I have reinstalled Win-os2, I have fixed the syslevel at 3001
(Warp w/ Win-os2), but still no seamless apps. This display is part of a Pentium 90 with 32MB
RAM.
When this happened before, I eventually reinstalled OS/2, but I sure would like to avoid that
unless absolutely necessary.
I have just installed the release version of Netscape and nothing's changed (except the addition
of Netscape, of course <G>).
Anybody got ideas? Is the culprit the S3's (I suspect). I'm thinking of laying out the cash
for another video card, as Diamond is unreachable, probably won't support OS/2 anyway, and
posts only the same ol' lame drivers since 1994. I've seen the new S3 drivers, but I'm not
optimistic about their appropriateness for this card.
