That may often be the case (for example, resizing their desktop may be bad, or changing their sound level to super loud wouldn't go down too well), but in these days I don't think that setting the colordepth is that bad a thing. It's also a built in function, no Xtra required, and it's likely to work on most modern systems. So, try to set the colors if you can, and if that fails, tell the user to change it for you. One important thing, don't use the projector option for changing the color depth, because it won't let you reset it to how it was before. Change it using the colordepth function, but remember what it was set to, and reset it to that when they quit the projector. On the other problem, read up on 'the searchpath' in the Lingo dictionary. -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
