    Hi,

    Installed new version(2.100) of Port Explorer on this 98SE system. Whenever I close the app down, it does not remember the window size. I have to maximize the window each time I restart the app.

    Also, regarding the color schemes, are the previously released schemes supposed to work with this version of Port Explorer? If so, I have a problem. They have no effect on this system. When one of those schemes is merged, it adds the info to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch of the registry, but the new version saves its info to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch. If I manually edit the registry in the proper location, then the color change, for example, for the background color does change.

    Did not do any other experimentation, but I am guessing the saved info location is probably the source of both problems on this system. Minor problems of no real importance, but would like to know if this is a problem on my system, or if it is just the way this new version currently works?

    Thanks in advance,
    VV

    Gavin,

    Perhaps I misunderstood something. I logged into my members area page and redownloaded the schemes. Nothing is changed in the zip file I got.o_O

    In the meantime, I went ahead and edited the individual color scheme reg files to point to the proper location in the registry and everything is working fine here.:)

    Just mentioning this in case something happened to your upload of the changed scheme files, or, perhaps I am looking in the wrong place.

    Thanks,
    VV

    Hi,

    Ok, went back and redownloaded again. All is well in this little corner of the world, now. Thank you!
