Read the manual?  Get real.  That thing is just for leveling up the
computer desk, isn't it?  

This could be, but by the time you got to page 134,  I had already clicked
on all the buttons and clickers and figured out what they were for.  Not a
lot of rocket science involved to figure out that if you click on the name
and it changes color and a cursor appears, you can edit it.  Or that it
takes pressing the <Return> key to get the changes to stick.  But then
again, there are there those that can't, or won't read the manual, and are
to scared of screwing something up to click on the buttons and see what
happens.

Before you go getting snotty look on the same page that you pointed
out. Page 134, now look at the bottom right of the set-up sheet. Now
do you see the load button that no one is getting.

Before you go flaming people for not reading the manual, maybe you
should try reading it yourself. Look at the screen shot on page 134 (The
same page you referred to in your post). See the Load button? Huh? For
your information, as a few people have pointed out recently, there IS a
bug in the minimum install that causes you not to be able to load setups
other than the pre-canned ones (Easy, Ace, etc.). You can save setups
all you want. They just don't get added to the pull down menu, thus you
can't load them. The procedure you so "eloquently" described just does
NOT work. Doing a full install fixes the problem (and also wipes out
another 76 MB of disk space, I might add).

Well, after some followup from Jason, he managed to pin the problem down to
having done a minimal install. Your setups are properly saved on the hard
disk, it's just that the game is looking for them on the CD-ROM. The only
known fix at this point is to do a full install.

Jeff what I said there was not a button that said load but a button that
said setup and this where you load from I did a minimum install and had no
problem you just have to use diskd to saves setups then like the books
says.But if you do a full install that takes a whole 76 Mb of hard drive (
this is alot of space not!!!!) space you don't have to do this.So before
you try and correct me read my letter better.
