I'm rather pissed off. I just tried to print a document using Word for Windows, and got an error message saying that no ports were defined, so I could not print. Upon closer inspection, I found that someone had stomped all over my win.ini file: it should have been about 15K long (thanks to all my soft fonts) but it was 673 bytes, with a bunch of binary garbage in the beginning. NU was unable to find the old win.ini file anywhere on disk. :( Upon closer inspection, I saw the string "solitair" in the binary data at the beginning. I have a suspicion that the (very entertaining) Solitaire game included with Win3 may have something to do with this calamity. Now, for the question: is there any way to generate a new win.ini file short of re-installing Windows? I promise I'll back up the new win.ini file pronto!
