Andy - Don't know about Auto - Sizer. Hope you get your JFW registration
sorted, it's usually strait forward, so come back if there's still a
problem -

| Hi Andy.
|
| Well, I've been messing about with my new computer all evening and to be
| honest, I'm very impressed. The only problem I've come up against is
| authorising my JAWS. I'll phone S&S tomorrow. The only change I've made
is
| to change to high contrast number 2 as I'm very photo-phobic.
|
| Thanks for the FS link. I'll check it out tomorrow sometime.
|
| Andy, do you know if Auto-Sizer will run with VISTA? Auto-Sizer is a wee
| programme which maximises all windows I open in XP Home. I've still a
| little vision so the window taking up the whole screen is helpful.
|
| Incidentally, I think I'll stick with the current settings as much as
| possible for the time-being. Perhaps I'll grow to like the difference.
|
| Best wishes.
|
| Andy.
