title says it all - I'm using a netbook to view dvd profiler - and the welcome page appears each time. I can't select to not view the welcome page by ticking the box at the bottom of the page because it isn't visible.

is there any way of selecting the hidden box - or any other way of stopping this window appearing?

(and why isn't the tick box to undisplay the welcome page aty the TOP of the page - so it always appears - regardless of the size of the window)

Try this: Press the button right twice, the cursor is now on Never, confirm with Return.

Do you mean the splash screen when the program starts?

You can disable it: Double click on the DVD Profiler icon (or the program .exe) and choose Properties and enter /nosplash at the end of the Target area.

An example would look similar to this:

Target: "C:\Program Files\DVD Profiler\dvdpro.exe" /nosplash

I had the same problem on my netbook but I don't remember how I solved it. Probably just hit some random keys and got lucky because it has never appeared again...

Katatonia & SH84,

Thanks for both your suggestions. I'll try them later but I'm sure at least one will work.

If they do not work, here is the brutal method: Change the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Invelos Software\DVD Profiler\WelcomePage to 2 (via regedit).

this worked, thanks.

The /nosplash didn't stop the welcome screen.

I didn't need to go into the registry.

Ken - perhaps moving the dialog boxes on the welcome screen would be good? Yes? or even, putting the settings into the program itself..??

I've had to go for this method - nothing else has worked.
