There were several areas I had to look at and of course your own situation may be different again depending on whether your system is your personal one or one supplied to you by an employer who has set up the configuration of it in a different manner. There were TWO main things I had to amend. 1) Permissions my system was company supplied - and i do not know if this affected the install - however the folder that CLio was installed into - C:Program Files (x86)Clio MUD2 Client was only readable to my userid. To Check this you need to: open windows explorer and look at C: select / click on C:Program Files (x86) right click on the folder name (probably C:Program Files (x86)Clio MUD2 Client) then select "Properties" click on the "Security" tab then make sure that either your id or a group that you belong to has "allow" ticked against all permissions. If you change settings then click "apply" You need to do this to allow you to edit the MUDII.co.uk.bat file or the clio.ini file. If you can not edit these files your editor will probably just open the file then beep annoyingly at you when you try to change it. Kaif reported having that issue. It may also affect the ability to create logs (which didn't work for me originally either). 2) Clio.exe properties This is the one that probably affects everyone in the annoying "ickle' screen problem that Vulnax hates. in the Clio folder there is a file called Clio.exe right click on that and select "Properties" then click on the "Compatibility tab there is a box called "run this program in compatibility mode for" select either Windows NT4 service pack 5 or Windows XP service pack 3 Both of these worked for me - but try both - you may see a difference between them Click apply You may now try executing the mudii.co.uk.bat file - it may now be as you want it. I.E. running in a larger window with logging. There was one other change I made which also affected the screen appearance When you are running the program and are at any screen you can further change the screen size by doing the following: Right click on the bar at the top of the screen that shows Clio - MUDii etc click properties change the "Window Size" options to a larger - or smaller size Click OK Nothing will appear to happen! exit the program Restart the program - and you should nwo see a larger screen N.B. Alt enter still will not work - hence my reason to change the screen size. Your mileage may vary - but give these steps a go - if it helps anyone then it was worth typing this up! _________________ "there are things we do not know we don't know." - Someone must have been talking about MUD
