New SOAB....
After resetting the video driver back to the default, I can now boot all the way. However, any attempt to reload Snap for OS/2 3.1.1 results in the inability to completely boot the system as before.

Well, I've got my 1280 by 1024 display resolution back, and at 65,536 colors, but scrolling with the wheel mouse is a bit stuttered.

I can live with it for now. Probably should file a bug report with SciTech.

New We have a Winnahh!!!
Found the issue. Had to turn off the VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT line in config.sys per [link|http://www.scitechsoft.com/support/faq/fom-serve/cache/33.html|this ] FAQ item.

Everything's back to normal, including my DOS sessions, which I had noticed had stopped working a few weeks ago.

YAHOO!!!!

                         Good point. It might be a "video aperture" issue. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Jan. 16, 2006, 09:09:08 PM EST
                             Not likely. - (n3jja) - Jan. 16, 2006, 09:21:21 PM EST

                     Did you try the boot time option . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - (2) - Jan. 16, 2006, 09:27:27 PM EST
                         That's next. Was saving it as a last resort. - (n3jja) - Jan. 16, 2006, 09:30:59 PM EST
