Jim-A couple WinXP issues:1) Track elements are narrower on-screen in WinXP than they appear in Win98; nearly all parallel trackage not drawn at 0/90 degrees now has a one-pixel "gap" between the tracks.2) YD randomly crashes when flipping between Design & Play modes; I never experienced this when running on Win98, and XP is supposed to be a more stable OS, non? (I just lost a five-tracks-into-three interlocking -- a half-hour's work -- from one of these crashes... the one time I didn't save.)Writing that creates inspiration: Can a one-minute autosave option for Design mode be implemented?-Dave
