For most people this should be easy enough to fix by disabling lowfi. On my last several XP installs and even my last W2K install the installer set the resolution to 1024x768 all by itself, and I wasn't using any LCD panel with a native 1024x768 resolution to do it. I don't know why anyone using any OS made after 2001 would use 800x600 other than via misfortune and lack of knowledge to do anything about it. > On many systems I far prefer to have it turned off. That's why it can be turned on and off. Real people do have system settings preferences that don't always match the defaults. Like with various other system and/or browser settings, whether anyone has it on or off you can't know, which means your decision to specify italic or not shouldn't be influenced by the fact that those options exist. -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
