After messing around with it a bit, this is the configuration
that seems to work best for me:

Under Applications:
...include only qw.exe; delete all others that may be there.

...Line mode - scroll 1 line (works great in registers; slow
in reports, but I tend to use the cursor keys in reports.

...Scroll the window with input focus - able to scroll
register regardless of mouse location.

...Disable wheel sounds.

I'd appreciate your thoughts after you've used it awhile.

Yes - that happened with my system as well. I paused for a second before
clicking OK because I wasn't sure what it was going to do, but it went so fast
that it couldn't have touched any of the main data files.

I got the same thing and just ignored it as a side effect of them fixing the
help system which I believe those screens are a part of. They probably had
to reset the whole help subsystem during the patch.
