This is a wild guess, but hey, with the lousy tech support what isn't.
One of the APARs out for OS/2 is that you can't load DOS high if the
machine uses the UMB in some nonstandard way. The TP750 does (if you
look at your default EMM386 statement, you'll notice some memory
regions are excluded). It may be some sort of interaction between
where ansi.sys is loading into memory and the video drivers.
While we're on the subject of tech support, I suggest we build up a
list of anyone we find during our phone calls that's the least bit
knowledgable. I think someone mentioned they were connected to a
person who helped write the video drivers. Having that person's name
would certainly be helpful if someone else has a question on the
video drivers.
