Thanks Mike...
Sounds like you have been very busy....

When you get a chance...ya right...could you write a quick widget that extracts the SN to the desktop without opening PS and then CM.  I like your SN validation page...but when I go there I always forget to bring the SN out first.  If you add a tool to the start menu items that brings the "about box" up that would be helpful

Mike I just tested the "windows flag key-m" to minimize Photoshop with CM open...in Windows VISTA...

NOT GOOD....

It feels like CM is not allowing PS to get control from the OS.  I can see the window when I use the "window key -tab" function. 
But I cannot select the PS window on the task bar, I cannot maximize it,  I am able to stop it in task manager or switch back to it but the current build still behaves the same as the last one...

Great idea - I'll take a look at how hard this would be.

Hmmm - I'll need to put in some time trying to duplicate this one.  I hope it's not a Vista specific problem, since I don't yet have Vista on any of my systems.  If anyone else can get this to happen on XP or Win 2000 that would be helpful.

[ggroess]

still happens in XP as well....

Frits has reported that floating neutrals no longer "float".  

I'm planning a new release in the next few days to address this problem, and any others that turn up.

If anyone else has run into the problem Greg reports with the Windows-M key please let me know.  My guess is I have something configured differently on my system that prevents this bug from occurring.
