print problem

2005-06-06 Thread J. David Boyd

Does anyone know where, in what file, the information for setup.exe is stored as it pertains to the column dividers? At some point in the past, I did 'something' so that all I see in the window is the current version. I have to move FAR to the right, and drag back the column divider, 6 or 7 ti
