Yeah, I have Windows 98SE installed with all of the current updates from
Microsoft.

Ugh. I hate things installed into my base C:\ directory... but if it
helps development, I will.

Okay, I've done it, and it seems to be working better. But I just opened
Projector-3, and it's doing the blank text field and white title bar
thing again... If I can, I'll get a screenshot of it for you. One other
thing I just noticed, is that it's turning the dropdown menu buttons
into "6"'s and the sidescroll button for the "Snippets", etc tabs in to
"3"'s and "4"'s. But, you'll see all of this in the screenshot...

Okay, nevermind about the screenshot. I've got better information than a
screenshot could hold. I've got 512meg of RAM on this machine, and when
I opened Projector-3 it did what I said above. Then when I tried to to
soome other stuff in Windows, while Portal-9 was still open, Windows was
complaining about being low on system resources. Now, I didn't have
anything else other that Portal-9 open. Maybe it's a memory leak?
Because I don't think that Projector-3 has 512 meg of source. :)
