[Dxbase] Odd Display Problems with Log Window

Mon Nov 17 06:01:58 EST 2008

Do you have the same trouble if you change the screen resolution to another 
setting? (I use 1024x768 here.)
If that doesn't make any difference, I would start by making sure you still 
have all of your files saved. Uninstall DXbase completely, and then install 
again. Before copying any of your saved files to the DXbase directory, 
check to see if you are still having the same problems. If all is ok, then 
copy one file at a time, checking after each one to see if there is any sign 
of the trouble you have been having.
