        Just for the fun of it, check your MENU PATH statement in your 
MAX.CTL file.  Even if it's messed up, I would think that SILT would have 
created a new one, but....  It's just an idea.  8-)
        I know I was having a problem related to this statement.  I'm running 
Maximus/2 60% of the time and Maximus for DOS under NT the other 40%.  
Certain games run only under OS/2 and others only under DOS/NT.  I created 
different menus for the two systems.  I couldn't understand why the right 
menus weren't coming up.  It finally dawned on me that I had the MENU PATH 
pointed to the same directory so the last SILT produced the menus.  I finally 
changed MENU PATH to MENUS in the OS/2 CTL file and MENUS95 in the DOS/NT CTL 
file.
        It still doesn't really explain your problem, but it sure sounds like 
it could be with that statement.  Good luck!!!!
                                        Victor
