First, let me say I'm running the latest beta Couatl. I installed XPOI today (reinstalled the beta Couatl afterward). XPOI starts and I see all the icons. I try to go into Settings and all I get is a small dialog that says has a title photo and three buttons: OK, Cancel and Apply...nothing else. Nothing at all like is in the manual. Also, I can't close it...none of the three buttons close the dialog so I have to close by rightclicking the app on the Windows Toolbar.
Also, I am running the latest version of XPOI.
