Anyway, you might need to look in the win.ini file and ...put a ; colon behind...
WHAT LINE WAS THAT
GOD I CAN'T REMEMBER...
Sorry.

Try putting a ; behind all 3 letter lines, maybe that will help.
Its an idea; I saw it on a website.
Oh by the way, is this considered s..
Nevermind.

The "size" command doesn't work?
Odd.
And I don't see an edit button, therefor, I created a new reply...So, where IS the edit button?

Size button works, you have to type your text between the two bracketed commands.
