I had this too when I was running OS/2 for Windows (I take it you are
running OS/2 4W). I never did seem to solve the problem. If what they
say is true, and you can find a backup of your WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI
that existed prior to installation of OS/2 for Win, try using those
and if it works, you can set it up in your AUTOEXEC.BAT so that those
files will be loaded right away upon entering DOS.

That would certainly work, although it may be a bit extreme (and the
problem will reappear upon installation of the TP drivers). I would
suggest at most of just changing the video drivers back to VGA to see
if the video drviers are at fault. I reallt doubt if dual boot has
anything to do with it...or boot manager or wahtever they said.
