Don't surprise the user. Let the user be in control. If they choose a silly combo, let them. You know, they might be debugging the issues in that silly combo to begin with, and don't want to jump through hoops to work around tools that think they know better. Letting the user know they're using a silly combo and suggesting better alternatives is a whole different matter. BR, Jani. -- Jani Nikula, Intel
