David,

If you have SnagIt you may be able to get a lot of it by using the text capture on a scrollable region.

I just tried this in the one you summarized here yesterday and it did capture all the words, but not actual settings. But it seems better than nothing.

good luck

I'm not seeing your problem here, and the "setting" that Michel alludes to escapes me. I have seen several Update hotfixes cause strange IE behavior and resetting to defaults has worked for me before.
