I just happened to discover that the times that the Summary window stops displaying are related to closing of the QSL Info window. If I hide or minimize the QSL Info window all is ok with the Summary window. However if I close the QSL Info window, then the Summary window stops updating. After this, if the QSL Info window is opened again, the Summary window starts working again. I'm no longer closing the Summary window, and the problem with the Summary window not updating has stopped occurring.

I dragged DXB to the secondary monitor on my two monitor system. But the drop down windows would not open, I tried a bunch of them and they wouldn't drop down and give me choices. I dragged it back to the main monitor where it normally is (and where I always start it) and the drop downs operated normally. So if any of you have dual monitors, pse give it a try and let me know if it's my video card or if it's DXB. ----------------------------------------------------- Why does the Return key move the cursor to a new line? ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland webcams at http://24.14.49.4:8080 weather at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/w9ol/WX/HH.htm
