Issue Screen has no options and defaults to this setting even after a re-install of program from (add remove programs), currently cannot do any work.
Solution
This sounds like the user's fin.zup file has been corrupted.  The zup file contains the user's settings i.e. column widths, visible columns.  Delete this file to restore the system's default settings.  When the user launches Navision again their fin.zup file will be regenerated but they will have lost their settings.
PROCEDURE:
- Do a system search of 'All files & folders'
- File name = *.zup
- Look in = Local Hard Drive (i.e. C:DRIVE)
- Make sure the search criteria includes 'Search System Folders, Hidden Files & Folders, and Subfolders'.
- Search
- Look for fin.zup and delete.  (Note: There may be more than one; delete all.)
- Restart Navision 
NOTE:  You may have to re-enter database and company fields when trying to open database and company.  Otherwise you may not be able to open any companies or incomplete company list, i.e. see only Cronus companies.
