"Large fonts" in Windows/Desktop/Properties/Appearance does not seem to affect the problem--when set to "Normal fonts" there, the difficulty remains. The dpi setting in Windows/Properties/Settings/Advanced does affect the non-appearing boxes. Usually I have this set to Large (120 dpi). 1) I changed it to Normal (96 dpi). You have to restart the computer for this to take effect, incidentally. 2) After doing this, and checking in Folder Properties the boxes for "Maximum number of stored messages" and "Keep messages in the base for (days)," I still could not see the boxes to set the values. 3) So, I dragged the dialogue box out to its maximum width. At the far right, the boxes with scrollable menus to set the number values appeared, just as one can see them in TB!/Account/Properties/Options. I conclude from doing all this testing that the problem is two things: 1) TB! is interacting improperly with the Windows dpi setting for values above 96 dpi. 2) The scrollable boxes in TB!/Folder properties/General are designed to appear too far to the right of the dialogue window. I'm adding a note about my test results to https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=5817. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.80.06 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
