Andy - When I changed from 1024x768 to 800x600, and saved the change, JFW
stopped seeing lots of things, just saying blank; I think when the
resolution gets changed, other settings get changed automatically too, and
that affects JFW's functionality.- Andy

Hi Andy and all interested in this thread.


I thought that I would try moving the resolution on my computer up from 800
by 600 to 1024 768 pixels, to see if more of the screen was displayed, and
guess what?  When I clicked OK, my computer crashed and re-booted.  I
attempted this again, and again my computer didn't like it, so I'm unable to
change from 800 by 600.  Strange or what eh?

Best wishes.
Andy
