Red face who can explain?

Howdy, if someone can please explain what is happening when a turbo-prop discs I would appreciate it. I always thought I understood props/engines, I understand piston windmilling, What gets me with this is that with the finest pitch set at a high IAS, throttle to idle, it doesn't disc, but when you slow to a certain speed, away she goes. A technical explanation would be good, my desk planner is now completely covered with vector diagrams and it seems to say the opposite should happen, ie when the airspeed decreases the prop aoa gets bigger....aaaarrrgghhhhhh!!!
