Hi,
here I am at it again. Since my first posts, I tried to install the latest version of elog out-of-the-box on one pair of
PCs from scratch (fresh elog install on new, just-installed PCs, OS WinXP Pro and Win2000), but with no results. No
trace of the global configuration menu or the buttons to reach it.
Neither taking a look at the code has helped, I could not figure out exactly where the button bar was generated.
Didn't anybody other point out a similar behaviour? Do you have any suggestion for any tests to carry out?
Thanks
