I need help with a vexing problem. I was fooling around with the screen mode function on wb 2.04 to see if I could increase the screen size of Pro Page when I got it so it magnified the Pro Page screen so high it is really unusable. I went back to wb to fix it, and set it back to the NTSC HiRes default, which I believe is 712-220, but the Pro Page screen stayed the same. Desperate (I am on a deadline), I even tried reinstalling Pro Page and it again came out that same magnified size. Does anyone know how to get it back to normal. I promise I will never fool with it again. Help!

Jeff… Propage creates some files in your S directory. Try renaming PPage.DFLT to PPage.DFLT.OLD and ProPage should let you reset your defaults.. The first line in my copy of the file is SCM 644 412 1 32772 which I suspect means my default screen setting is 644 x 412 pixels and 1 bit plane. Regards, Robert Carter Quilters' Fancy Limited

I found the answer sometime around three a.m. this morning. For some reason I missed the screen mode in the prefs on Pro Page. UP came a requester box, and it showed that the pixels were out of whack. I reset it and it was just fine. THanks for the reply, though. jeff

Jeff, <I went back to wb to fix it, and set it back to the NTSC HiRes default, which I believe is 712-220, but the Pro Page screen stayed the same.> Don't know if this will help, but standard NTSC hi-res should be 640X400, overscan would be a bit more. Good luck! Asha @}–,–`–

Thanks, fortunately I found the answer in something I overlooked — in the prefs on Pro Page. Thanks for your help, though.
