Re: [HELP!] Yap zoom stuck to minimal value

Yikes! If this problem exists and the only solution is the one 
recommended below, we have a serious bug.  I certainly hope that it is 
fixed soon. Asking users to edit a Window's registry is rather uncouth 
(as is Windows in general). Does Bruno B. have any idea why the YAP 
interface does not work or why/if the registry edit restores YAP 
capabilities?
