Wrong colors

I'm running a Siemens 166Mhz with
1024x768 and 65k colors. The problem is
that the colors are ok in win/os2 but
in os2 the colors are warped. If i
chanfet to 256 colors it's ok in os2
but not in win/os2. Any suggestions??

1. I don't run win/os2 in full screen mode.
2. The problem is that it's the colors in os2, e.g. netscape
2.02, that is warped.
Maybe i didn't understand the answer but please illuminate me...

Addition: When I change to 256 colors, it
looks allright in os2 but in win/os2 is
warped in the same way as os2 when I had
65k colors...

Maslow,
  Have you tried reinstalling the drivers ?
  What video card do you have ?
  If you get it right under OS/2 first, with 65K colours, then it shouldn't be a problem getting WinOS/2 to work.
  There are only 2 display drivers under Win OS/2 in WIN.INI under [boot] display.drv= (full screen) and sdisplay.drv (seamless mode).
  They shouldn't be the same !!
  If you want 256 colours under OS/2, then you can manually change WIN.INI (back it up first!) to point to the driver you want - a generic svga256 colour one should work OK.
