I saw the same thing happen to me under the following circumstances: I was running KDE2 I had changed the Windows screen resolution to something higher than the current, say 1024x768, then went back to 640x480. Opening the dialog boxes for certain programs acted as though 'they' still thought they should size to display on a 1024x768 screen, even though windows was in 640x480. My years of using keystroke shortcuts and function keys as opposed to the mouse to do many functions in windows paid off for me here, since I could use the keyboard shortcuts to activate the 'hidden' buttons and such, which helped a lot since there was no way possible to get to them with the mouse. You can try this, it is a trick I used on stand alone windows after selecting an improper video card or upgrading to a video driver that didn't work.. Make sure Win4Lin is shut down. Use a text editor and edit the system.ini file for windows. It is located in the ~/win/windows directory. In the first section [boot], there is a line that should read: *DisplayFallback=0 , change this to read: *DisplayFallback=1, save the file and then try starting win4lin. Windows will be in a video 'safe-mode' and re-detect video card/drivers. It _might_ work, I make no claims to success or guarantees. _______________________________________________ Win4Lin-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.netraverse.com/mailman/listinfo/win4lin-users
