Hi all,

   Thanks to those hams who already sent me suggestions to try to resolve the incorrect display when I launch CTWIN on an XP machine.

Here is a copy of the responses I sent back of what I tried and I 
really don't have much more time to spend on fixing this problem for my amigo here in Mexico, before I head back stateside.
 I will make one more attempt to get his display screen fixed on Thursday afternoon, and then will have to leave it for next visit or until he maybe gets anothr video card or newer machine. The machine it is on was running WIN98 and then he had someone load XP on it which I warned him would not let his DOS version of CT run anymore and then to add insult to injury, I can't get CTWIN to run on it with correct screen

The [progra fill sthe entire window but the info fields only fill the upper half of the screen ! The bottom half is just black or whatever color one selects in Properties...at least that feature works but in the wrong protion of the window

Anyway here's a copy of my response to other suggestions so you wil know whatI have trried already.

Hi Mal,
  Well no dice on the fix foer CTWIN with teh logging page schrunched up into the top half of the full CT window. The only thing I could change was the color of the bottom half of the window which of course containe no logging info...here is copy of my response to another fellow on what I tried. I think per the CT website it is an incompatibility problem with his video card and I don't have much knowledge or patirnce to work on computer problem like this all day long, especially when I come to Mexico to RELAX !

Hi Gunter,

   Well today I arrived at the QTH of my amigo Pepe XE2MX in Ensenada
and tried your suggestion of adding -vga when going into program
ie: testcw -vga and yes it opens a large window but the log program page still only fill sthe top half of that window

I also tried other peoples suggestions of also trying -reset when you log in and also either right clicking the mouse on the shortcut Icon  on my desktop and selecting properties and changed the Height and Width sizes and nothing changes! I also launched the program and when in the logging window I right clicked on upper part of page and again selected properties and tried changing Height and width ( also FULL SCREEN )and all kinds of settings but to no avail. One of the responses directed me to the K1EA website where I read that depending on the Video card and chip sets, one might hve to really play games to get the display to work. At that point I gave up as I do not work in the computer field and only someone that eats bits and bytes for breakfast was going to solve this video display problem. 

I wil CC this respons eto the reflector but unless it's some simple fix, I am not goping to spin my wheels anymore on CTWIN for Pepe's computer.

Best we just wait til he upgrades to another newer computer and see if we get lucky on getting CTWIN to display properly.
