    Switch off and unplug the power from your modem/router.
    Leave both unplugged for 30 seconds.

    If a previous feature - from 9.8 - is not working - and may never work - then why not block the menu item with "currently under construction" or some other message and not send the user through hoops that ultimately do not work - just admit the fact that no one has tested this "gold" version.

  7. Resolution options

    I cannot change the magnification! I need to decrease the view to be able to see ALL of the game I'm trying to play. I used to be able to hold the ctrl button down and use the mouse wheel to fit more in, but now it's USELESS! The aol Tech THAT I PAY FOR could only change the resolution on my WHOLE COMPUTER! This left me with tiny icons and print EVERYWHERE ELSE! When I was not satisfied, he closed chat and left me stranded with the awful "new" resolution. It took me a while to change it all…
