W doesn't do anything which could cause that kind of behaviour.  When
started, W just checks Getrez() for the standard Atari screen
resolutions, sets the screen size variables / color mode function
pointers accordingly and gets the logical screen address for the
screen graphics bitmap address.

Are you sure you don't have any funny TSRs? On my machine I run vconsoles
and 'MiNT screensaver' with W without any troubles.
