I just created my storefront and it was a very painful and difficult process. The storefront wizard that pops up in a new window did not make the window large enough to completely view the information. Of course the window was of a fixed size and couldn't made larger or even scrolled to view the entire contents. I started out using Netscape 4.76 then tried Netscape 6.x then finally tried IE 5.x It wasn't until I tried IE 5.x that I was finally able to view enough of the window contents in the wizard to actually be able to click on the buttons to advance to the next window. The necessary buttons were not visible at all when using netscape and were barely visible when using IE, but at least I could finally click on the visible edge of the button to advance onto the next item in the wizard. Unfortunately I have no idea if I missed anything relevant in the wizard because I couldn't read all of the window contents while working thru the wizard.
The entire process of working thru the wizard took me about an hour for reasons completely beyond my control, namely the size of the pop up windows that could not be adjusted or scrolled. I would have been much easier if you had just created a new full browser window or advanced me to a new page in the browser window I had open...
I became so frustrated during the setup process that I almost gave up and was thinking about paying for a storefront at eBay. The cost would have been well worth the time I spent trying to set up a storefront here...
The problems you experienced in creating your storefront may have to do with the screen resolution you have your monitor set. If you continue to have trouble with storefronts please let us know, so that we can walk you through it. I will log a suggestion of changing the wizard window from a popup to a new browser window.

Thanks, it probably is the screen resolution. I recently adjusted it as I'm using an older monitor and I've lost most of the control over the horizontal width. I'm trying to avoid buying a new monitor right now as I expect I may be moving within the next six months (from Canada to Australia)...
This is the first time I've encountered a problem with the new settings in the past couple of months however...
