memo NN show

[Richard Kreiss]

John,

In this case is only the meme nn show that is the problem.  Memo nn edit
works fine.  Not sure what the difference is between the 2  windows that pop
up.

I have to try this on some different machines to see if the problem may be
one to do with my monitor/video card combination or systemic on Windows
machines.

I just received my new Thinkpad running Windows 7 with the 15.4" rectangular
screen.  Got it with most of the needed "bells & whistles".  My older
Thinkpad is just over 6 years old and works fine.  The only problem is I ran
out of disk space - 30Gb drive.  As these are development machines I use
when traveling, I keep most of my client's systems loaded.  For programming
purposes, the older Thinkpad is more then adequate but my client's will soon
be migrating to Win7 and I need to be there also.

I'll let you know if the memo show has the same problem on these 2 machines.
Will test it on the older machine before migrating fp to the new one.

Richard
