I would have to agree that it's graphics related. My suggestion is to be sure that the correct video drivers are installed and check to see if there are any updates on the internet that can be downloaded and installed. It could also be an interaction between TB! and another program or utility running on the system. If no problems can be found with the video drivers, try shutting down all other programs and running TB! alone. If Win95 or Win98 is the OS, use control-alt-del to bring up the task manager and highlight each running process (one at a time) *except Explorer and Sys Tray* and click END TASK. This can be a lengthy process but it assures you that very little can be interfering with what you are running. I always had to do this in the old days to burn CDs as any other process would use too much CPU time and all I would get is coasters. There was no room for error with a 133Mhz CPU... If ending processes in Task Manager causes the garbled text to go away, then it's a slow laborious process of elimination to figure out which of the processes you ended is causing the conflict. Reboot so all are running again and then end them one at a time and test with TB! till the problem goes away. The last one you ended is the most likely culprit. Good luck. -- Scott Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
