[snipped] From my experience and previous threads about this problem over the past year or two this is a Windows 98 problem rather than problem with The Bat!. This problem occurs from time to time on Windows 98 when it runs low on resources. You can try closing down some programs to free up resources, but generally the only solution is to re-boot. You can probably recreate the problem if you have MS Word or some similar resource hungry program on your computer. Just open and close it four or five times (you don't need to actually use it each time) and all sorts of strange things will start to happen when you try to access programs - the inability to redraw a screen being one of the most immediately obvious. Each time a program opens it reserves part of Windows resources for its use but some poorly written ones don't fully release the resources when closed. I think the first time the error message appears it actually says "Canvas does not allow redraw", but generally there are multiple error messages popping up quicker than you can click "OK" and subsequent ones do indeed just say "Canvas does not allow" as you noted. -- Regards, Bob The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222B ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
