Thanks Claud. I thought of that. I set the emulation to win 2K no
difference. MS ran worse in 2K emulation.
Everything runs fine except the one issue with the details screen so
it's not an SP2 problem. Unfortunately my winxp pro disk has SP2
already integrated so I can't uninstall it without a lot of headaches.
I cleaned out the registry in the old computer so I looked at every MS
Key entry in the registry. I didn't see any that should control this
issue. You would not believe how many keys MS puts into the registry.
They are every where--hundreds of them.
Quirky issue with this one window.
