OK. Most likely, this means the video driver on the 1.2R CD is not
compatible with your hardware. The ecomstation site has never versions of
the SNAP driver available that might work better. For now, have you tried
selecting VGA GRADD driver?

It has been this way for over 10 years. It's been a long time since you
bought a new computer. OS/2 has been a niche OS since 1996 or so.
Generally, if you bought an IBM branded computer in the 90s, it would run
OS/2 well enough. The success rate with other vendors varied all over the
map. Today few if any IBM branded systems specify OS/2 support. Many
will run OS/2 pretty well. The same is true from many other brands, but
it is up to you to do your homework.

Steven
