I don't know what version of Windows you're running but you should be able to right-click on a blank part of the desktop and get a screen resolution menu up. I had display problems with TB! a while back and it was all because I had my screen resolution messed up. I was trying to get the screen font bigger and was successful but it messed up the way TB! displayed things. As I said, a shot in the dark. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

Apart from Jack's suggestion to try re-installing TB!, maybe you could tweak a windows display setting about font sizes, or maybe there is something in the TB! registry entry. -- Best regards MFPAmailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net Dogs look up to us.

Preferences window won't enlarge
Since re-installing The Bat! (v. 4.2.44.2) after having had to re-install Windows 7, when I go to Options|Preferences, the window that comes up is a small square window (maybe 15-20 lines long) that won't allow me to enlarge it or change it in any way. It, appears to be frozen. I want to change some of the General preferences, but when I click on that, only about half of the page shows, and there's no way to click OK after I change a preference (the one on animation, for example). How can I get the Preferences window to display correctly so that I can see the full page? I'm sending this as plain text, and I have no idea how to make it word wrap. Thanks for any help.
