The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11
 * Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS
If you increase your Icon Spacing value to a number that is too high, your icons always arrange vertically in Program Manager.

NOTE: To cause this effect, you have to have set your icon spacing very high, usually above 140; however, the value depends on your video resolution and group window size.

RESOLUTION
To correct the problem, reduce the Icon Spacing value.


 * 1) Run Control Panel.
 * 2) Choose the Desktop icon.
 * 3) Change the Icon Spacing setting to 75.
 * 4) Choose the OK button to save your changes.

When you activate a group within Program Manager and select Arrange Icons from the Window menu, the icons arrange horizontally.
