Hi Allie,
ACM I guess you must realize the priority such a problem would receive in
ACM the fix list. ;)
Actually it IS a real problem. I use the fixed width viewer because it
is faster and looks more coherent than the slightly more frivolous
rich text viewer.
The sideways scrolling happens
(talking to myself..)
Ehm, I just noticed that Internet Explorer does the same thing when
you just miss the vertical scroll bar and drag the mouse sideways.
Maybe this is some Windows fluke after all.. or worse, it might be
intended behaviour! :)
Hi Joyce,
JS What do you guys say?
Two basic steps to take would be:
Run MSConfig.exe (rightmost tab), to temporarily stop NAV from
launching at startup. Reboot. Run TB and see if it works better when
NAV isn't interfering. Re-engage NAV through MSConfig.exe, reboot, and
if necessary see if
Hi Tim,
TM What is this tool? Where do you find it? I did a search on my system
TM and didn't come up with it...
I think it comes with Win98. If you have Windows Commander (which
searches through CAB files), maybe you can search your Win CD to see
if it's on there.

BK I would REALLY like to see TB support Newsgroups and the like.
TF [..]
TF If you want to start a newsgroup, nobody is going to forbid it, I
TF would think.
He's not asking for a newsgroup about TB. He would like TB to handle
newsgroups. Oh the flexibility of the english language.. :)
B News readers and mail readers have 90% of the same features built-into
B them.
Exactly. There'll be very little bloat within the program, and it will
greatly help un-bloat one's system if news is integrated into the Bat. I
for one won't need 5 different instances of Agent anymore.

Hi Marck,

Hear, hear! That type of behavior seems typical of the major

KG So what are your views on newsgroups? Curse, blessing or both?
Well, that depends on the contents :-)
For instance, Cerious Software (of the ThumbsPlus image management
software) uses newsgroups on their own news server to communicate with
their users, and for users to talk to eachother.
