    Trev, sorry you misunderstood me. I purchased the game from a pc store. The game would not run properly on my Pc.
    As an aside I have Opera but find Firefox a more user friendly browser to use.

    I tried VS 4 some time ago and it needed a pretty major machine with a damn good graphics card to run it at half-reasonable resolution.

    But if you've got a machine of that spec it's amazing.

    Quote safewalrus… All I got to do now is figure how to use it!!

    Start with Tools>Preferences (or Cntrl+F12). You can sort a whole array of things there including the popup control.

    To get the Fit to Width button up, hit Cntrl+F8 or in the old money, View>Toolbars and tick the Address Bar box.

    Take care!

    I can imagine how you might be able to fasten a cup holder to the mouse for your icy cold beer effect, but how do you simulate the passed out drunken sailor on auto pilot effect without the computer hibernating!?!
