I heard you, RoccoD. And it must mean in my eyes that system cannot access settings - either because it simply cannot found setting file (and goes by default), either because it cannot write into it. In both cases compatibility can help.

And if it will _not_ help, it's always useful to found settings manually (in noted places) and try to tweak it. Manually.

If both methods will fail... well, then I'll check further.

Ahhh... understood. OK - i will give it a try when at home and report! You stired up hope.

Thanks! Shall i see the working super-sandpit a least?

It didn´t work - different modes tested, registry and Mydocuments searched (nothing found - it doesn´t even leave a fingerprint in "Installed software").

As it doesn´t work in the Dos-Version (via Dosbox, just tested again) either, i am quite sure the problem is not something like a separate ini-file as the settings for every running game are saved in the (e. g.) RoccosWorld.sav.

I even had the idea of reversed buttons (apply/set defaults/nevermind)... but no success.

Hmmm...

Challenge accepted. I'll check it at the weekend.

[RoccoD]

Yes, sir!

Awaiting further instructions.

Hmm. Very strange. I cannot access Windows-version right now (Win3.1 requires too much efforts. :/, but yes, I checked DOS, and yes, it refuses to set this slider for me. And as everything _else_ works perfectly, I suspect, yes, we are missing something... Sorry, I have no idea what is it.

[RoccoD]

Yep, very strange.

Sad thing. It makes no sense to create a wonderful, detailed zoo, plants and bulding a huge world to the smallest piece to see it going more and more strange, watch mass-extinctions and so on.

A bug in such an essential setting... hard to believe.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts & the test - to see that somebody cares for such a problem (the problem of a completlely strange person) is a nice experience!

Maybe someone else can help? Nobody who remembers this could-be-gem?
