This list is getting shorter, but I just started using this build, so
there's still time to run into something new.
 
Take the one about 'new' back, 5728 is doing it now, but it wasn't last
night, which I find odd.
 
I have Microsoft Picture IT! 10 and Microsoft Photo Draw 2000 v2 in build in
5728 - both seem to be working OK.

OT - Photo Draw is disk 3 & 4 of Office 2000 Premium - great program - IMO

Travis;
In reference to WMP11 visualizations; they SUCK.
Do yourself a favor and check this out:
www.soundspectrum.com
It's the BEST viz program on the planet!! Bar none.
And in Ultimate; they have a small freebie from soundspectrum; called
G-Force Blue. It's limited.
Anyway check out G-Force; from www.soundspectrum.com you'll never use
viz's from msft again.
They are; btw; recommended by MSFT themselves.
If you use the "download viz's link in WMP11;it takes you to MSFT's
page;and right on top; is MSFT's #1 recommendation for viz's;
G-Force.
Trust me; one try;you'll never use the lame MSFT viz's again.
Speed rocks;too. Just make sure ya set up G-Force (if ya try it) with your
gpu's screen rez.

I have Picture It! 10, and it works fine on Vista and has since beta 2, but
Picture It! Photo Premium 2001 does more than Picture It! 10 does like
shadows and so on - we should have bought Digital Image 10 instead of
Picture It! 10.
 
If I made a list of what I ''should'' have done, I be here all week :-(((((
