Jim, I start off with a problem here. I am using XP Pro and I do not have a Misc tab just general and there is no "allow screensaver tab here"
Next I do not understand number 3 at all.

On the Desktop shortcut, right-click and then left-click on the properties menu. 2. Click on the Misc tab and remover the check for Allow Screen Saver 3. Click on the Screen tab and choose Window to start up RBase at first 4. Click Apply - and OK to save settings, now Double-click shortcut to start RBase in a Window. 5. Once Rbase is up, left or right click on the C:\ Icon in the top left corner 6. If running W2k click the Misc tab. Uncheck QuickEdit in Mouse frame, in XP this is unchecked as default. (Boo-Boo my MS on W2k). 7. Go to the Options tab and in the Display Options frame click the Full Screen option 8. You will get prompted by an Apply Properties dialog. Click the Save properties for future windows with same title option and then OK. 9. This will bring you to a full screen. Immediatly exit RBase and then right-click on the desktop Icon and choose properties. 10.Go to the Screen tab and then click Full-Screen under the Usage frame, and OK.
