I bet I know what caused the list to become corrupt. I probably applied the "Sort episodes by Original Air date" patch to one of my machines, but forgot to apply it to the other. > I just realized that in my fumbling around in the first step, that I > managed to get "run in window" selected.

I don't know if this would work for everyone, but rejecting resolutions below 640x480 would fix this problem for me. John
