But what use is in the scroll bars then? I found no way to scroll the sub-window, because when I move the mouse only the slightest bit or when I press a mouse button or a key on the keyboard, the sub-window is closed immediately. So, the question is either: How can I scroll the sub-window? Or: Why are there scroll bars, if they can't be used? ;) Regards, Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
