I had the same "chopped off names" with Windows XP. PBoost is an excellent remedy for this problem. There are some "considerations" if you have Windows XP... You'd want to download the PBoost Compatability Tester from FreeStuff to check on that issue. Or you can talk directly to Hogwarden. He's a most friendly chap. It was a pleasure to be on the beta test team of PBoost. I need to stay on the fringe of this one since I'm not sure how much time or energy I can spend on anything till I feel better.
