Speaking of painful, If I have two items that are defined with the same item name or
event name, ECS seems to complain but still works.  Does it use the first one or the
last one, or does it ignore the duplicated item all together?  Would it be smart to
have a .cfg file that has my special changes in it and then just merge it with the newly
released ecs.cfg file when upgrading?  Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi Garren,
If you try to open "too many" windows, Win will crash (not ECS).
If this is not the case, you should consider upgrading.
I don't know of anything else that could cause this.
But even if there was, I could not correct it in an older version.
BTW, the longer you wait to upgrade, the more painful it is :-).
Later...
