Thanks for the good news Charles, I'll try and avoid using the mouse
wheel until I get my hands on the final. I've managed to right it a
couple of times since by switching the full screen mode of the
viewports on and off (clicking the title bar) and selecting menus.
As for the networking problem, I've not had time to look further
into that yet and its probably not going to be easy to fault find as
TCP/IP seems to have a mind of its own under Windows. I have turned
the Windows XP SP2 Firewall off on both machines and the problem
persisted. I've also tried turning off the anti-virus software on
both machines but that wasn't it either. Hopefully it will be
something simple but that's not normally my luck. ;-)
