Microsoft (in their wisdom) have written the Win32s extensions so that
they only work with the Microsoft VGA or SVGA video drivers for Windows.
I had been using an S3 specific driver and that interferes with Win32s.
I do not know if the Microsoft SVGA256 driver works with Win32s as it
does not work with the S3 card and so I was unable to test the combination.
Perhaps somebody else can answer that one.
