Description:
Hi,

Using Admin 1.2.4 RC on WinXP I can't edit such things like 'Wait Timeout' from 'Advanced Networking' tab of 'Startrup Variables'.

Please tell me why this is so as I don't know the magic keyword to put into my.ini file.

I have posted to a forum right next to similar post and see no responses.

How to repeat:
1 Start Admin
2 Select Startup Variable
3 Select tab e.i. Advanced Networking
4 Try to change grayed item like 'Wait Timeout'

Suggested fix:
Explain to me why these can not be changed or fix the problem.

The problem I am complaining about is not being able to even change a value.

I think you have found another bug that may blow out the scope of this bug.

Any ideas why items are grayed out.  I am no famililar with c++ cource code.

You have to click the little picture of the pencil and X. Then it will un-grey the area and you can make changes.
