I've seen comments that Panorama is required for various functions. But, I have also seen coments about cautions, problems, etc., that I did not really understand. So, I am still using the latest SNAP and having no problems. OTOH, I don't know if I am missing something either.

So far, it has worked just fine. [Makes it easier to carry the TPad up/down the stairs than when it is open.] >The extra info you;re getting may be caused by: > >LogScreen = 1 Hmmm... I have LogScreen=0 BUT, I when I do a PrtSc, it works just fine. I've never bothered to change it because of my oft-said basic view of the world: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. > >in %ETC%\ACPID.CFG > >For sound, I have the following in my unimix setup params, loaded from >startup.cmd (unimix.exe -loadc:\mmos2\unimix.ini): > >-id3 -cnt0 -val1 >-id3 -cnt1 -val1 >-id27 -val33 I have nothing that I can find about 'unimix'... Yes, there is a \mmos2\unimix.exe, but no *.ini anywhere that I see. Should I have something? ISTR that Paul said his updates, current and planned, are intended to avoid a user having to deal with this. >(N.B.: Those are not the contents of unimix.ini, merely the relevant >settings.

I send/receive much larger than that all the time. Your latest patched Flash 9.xxx would be appreciated. [I try to avoid anything associated with Yahoo. I already get a dozen or so per week spam/phishing stuff from there as it is.] -- TIA, Carl
