Hi Andy,
PK> Is it possible that a WPS restart might resolve this issue (there

AR> resetwps.exe
AR> resetwps.ico
AR> resetwps.txt
I tried using Watchcat to terminate the WPS but the same error was present
when it restarted (I had forgotten that I had enabled the KILL function in
Warpcentre.....;-().
AR> Also from that same package, I recommend you run:
AR> CHECKINI /C /S /Y:2 /L1.LOG
Nope already checked that, no INI problems detected either.....;-(
I suspect this symptom is more a code issue that is causing problems elsewhere
within the OS itself and not specifically with the WPS. When forced to
restart, the WPS appears with the EXACT same error condition, however a full
shutdown/restart brings the WPS up normal BUT with the Window list very small
from a resizing I attempted with the problem present. This suggests to me the
cause is not within the WPS itself...
When the system was Shutdown/Restarted, the new Window List was visible but
narrow (less than 1 inch wide) and relocated to the screen position I had
attempted to move it to when the problem first appeared, but it was NOT
reduced to a single pixel vertical line like the original fault and the
ALT-F7/F8 keys worked again!
At this stage its just annoying, not a totally fatal problem. I have a habit
of naming my continuously running sessions with names starting with unique
numbers, so its not essential to see the actual Window List. This way I can
press CTL-ESC, 1, ENTER and I will go to BBS Line 1, CTL-ESC, 2, ENTER for BBS
line 2, etc... One thing I haven't tried is to see what ALT-TAB does, although
that only works for PM sessions and most of the BBS stuff is Text mode...
Cheers.............pk.
