From: Milan Bortel on 11 Nov 2009 09:54 Hi Julie, I guess I'll give up on this issue... Just wait on Windows 7 to be installed as standard in our training center... Hope it's because of XP fault.

From: Milan Bortel on 11 Nov 2009 10:03 Rob, we have standard images, which we install "fresh" on each course. And even on new installed image this bug appears. It works on my home pc correctly, though. Probably it's something between XP and MSP... reinstalling MSP didn't help, installing SP2 didn't work either. As I said to JulieS.... Will wait for Win7 to come (it's matter of few weeks) and hope it works.. -- Milan Bortel MCAS, MCTS GOPAS Computer Training Center Brno, Czech Republic "Rob Schneider" wrote: > Hunch: It's probably not a bug in Project as others in world would have > seen this by now.

Hello Milan, I don't think it's an issue with Windows XP, as I am running on XP Pro (XP-3) and can't reproduce. Anyway, good luck and if you discover the root of the problem, post back if you can.
