OK, you asked for os/2 questions… I've been trying to get 3dsr3 running as a session in os/2. I'm starting it out as a full screen session, and have tried both VGA and VESA as the 3ds drivers. Under os/2 settings, I have background execute on, and have tried both "XGA trap" and "switch full screen notification" on and off. So far I haven't been able to get 3ds to run as a windowed session nor will it run in the background if I switch from the full screen session using alt-esc. For the latter, it justs sits back there using no cpu cycles. Questions for you: what's type of video card are you using? Other than setting DPMI to "enabled", did you have to change any setting? Why does it work for you and not for me? <g> My setup – os/2.1, Diamond speedstar VGA card, I ran dspinstl to install the os/2 Tseng driver. As an aside, it seems like you might be able to set up the background 3ds session to run in slave mode via netbios or some such link. Then you could just submit jos to it via the foreground session. Would be snazzy if it worked… LAM
