KNOWN ISSUES
============

- The tooltip text is limited in Windows 2000 to 128 characters, this may not be 
  enough to display the current display settings on all the display devices on a 
  multimon system.  Only the first two devices will be displayed, even then the 
  tooltip text may be cut-off.
