Hi Carol...whenever you see that type of behavior (min/max screen or scrolling affecting it) it's USUALLY video card related. At least in my experience. One way to check is to turn down your graphics aceleration in your Display Properties....if this fixes it, then you know it's your video card and you might be able to fix it by updating your video driver or just keeping the graphics aceleration turned down. I have one old machine where I have the aceleration turned down completely (slider all the way to the left) and it runs perfectly...but as soon as I turn it up even one notch, these weird problems happen again.

Linda, I am running Win2000 P4 1.9ghz 784 Ram (whatever 256 x 3 equals - I can never remember) 64mb video card. So I know I have the resources. It is just so odd. I will be scrolling and all of a sudden things just look 'screwy.' Only solution I have found is what I stated before. Minimize - Maximize screen.
