I have a question that I can't find the answer to.
Background:
A friend was on holiday and called in to see me a couple of weeks ago and we got talking about computers.
I let him loose on my 4 core AMD box with its multi TB hard disks. He was checking the size of the hard disks with FREEPM when he remarked that my version was smaller than his and so was my IP SPEED.
I found this rather strange because he had installed the utilities from the CD I had sent him.
A few days ago he sent me a screen grab taken with GOTCH176 - they are definitely larger. I have taken the same grab from one of my computers and combined them with his in the attached picture.
The only difference between his system - a 2 core AMD on an Abit KN9 Ultra and mine is that he is running eCS and I am running OS/2.
Now the question:
What is causing his install of FREEPM to take up half of the width of his 19" monitor while mine doesn't?
The same goes for the discrepancy in IP SPEED.
I have looked through the INI files he sent and the same files on my machine and I can't find anything that can be causing this problem. He says it also appears in some dialogue boxes as well.
While it doesn't stop him using it, he, like me, is now rather niggled by it and would like it fixed if possible.
Since I don't have eCS I'm putting this here in the hope that someone will recognise the problem and have an answer to it.
