 How can I get the Preferences window to display
 correctly so that I can see the full page?

Jack,

Thanks for the suggestion, but this is the only window in al of TheBat which is 
giving me a problem.

This is just a shot in the dark but did you try adjusting your screen
resolution or screen font?  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.

There are no scroll bars on the Preferences window and the option panes do not 
fully display.

This all happened after I did reinstall The Bat!
I know nothing about registry entries and would be loath to touch them without 
expert guidance.

Mine is non-resizeable as well. But most of the options panes are
fully displayed, and those that do not fit have scroll bars.

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.
