Got it. I'll choose the option , I think it is something like "maintain orders" and then check the box. Thanks. I had the impression that this was something that I couldn't stop, but this makes sense now, thanks and thanks again to Steve as well.

I DID! I saw a PUDDY TAT!"]?) What about Soupy Sales? "What do you know about lettuce? Long ago the French used heads of lettuce as binoculars. They would cut two holes in the head and hold it in front of their face so they could watch the French dressing! It's true."]

Yer not going to believe this but now that you mention it, I have 7 Looney toons collections that I watch whilst playing SH4 (including the war collection with Bugs literally bugging Herman Goering and you know who and Daffy (my Favorite) whoping Adolf over the head with a mallet. Add to that another bunch of collections from Fleisher with some old black and white Popeye stuff and I'm in the mood to play. I'm only 50 yrs old, I've gotta' have some fun!
Good Hunting

Check the box first. Otherwise it will just do it over again.

Default Television???

Hey Goin'Down--You're joking, right? There was NO television during WWII. The shows you refer to were all done at least 10 years after the war ended...Soupy Sales shows were broadcast by ABC in the 1960s.

Welcome to the forum! I am one of the forum history curmudgeons.

<clearing throat>

While it is true that during WWII, commercial Television was in a slump, it is not exactly accurate to say that there was "no television during WWII"

NBC started regular TV broadcasting in 1939
CBS started regular TV broadcasting in 1939
Dumont started regular TV broadcasting in 1940

The selling of advertising was approved by the FCC on 1 July 1941

The BBC had their first TV schedule in 1936.

And those are just the commercial networks. If you want to consider corporate TV stations the record is held by General Electric

The first regular schedule of TV programming is begun by GE in Schenectady. Programs are transmitted Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. When was this? 11 May, 1928!

There may not have been a lot of TV during WWII, but hardly none.

How about the screen prompt that says Your Submarine has been Destroyed.
I never like seeing that one.
