Vincent,
Thanks for taking the time to check this out, it's frustrating to keep
being told there is no limit when there so obviously is on my machine.
I will install this program on other XP machines and see if it does
the same thing, if so, then I'll know it's something to do with this
particular program and how it interacts with XP, if not, then I'm back
to square one.
This is only a minor irritation to me, but I'm just trying to
understand the why's of it. As I said, in previous O/S's I could line
up icons all the way across the screen if I wanted to.
Again, Thanks for your input and for taking the time with this.
