Very strange. Later today when I get done with some business calls, I am going to uninstall Jarte, start from scratch, and see if there was some key install process button I happened across that caused my version to be totally fine and accessible right off the bat. I will report back!

Mine doesn't say that. My version doesn't seem to be very stable, either for when I open it, it says Jart not responding, but then it seems more or less OK. I just upgraded to the newest version. I imagine there are settings I'm not aware of to make it like yours, but at least I got the alt menus to work. lucky1i...@gmail.com Faithfulness does not begin with large tasks-if it is not present in small things, it does not exist at all.
