I have found various references to this problem going back over a year. However I can't find any definitive solutions to running pre version 5 shows in Vista whilst getting the ESC button to work properly - or getting the show to terminate after the last image. Version 5 onwards shows seem to run fine, but older versions don't. However sometimes they run fine, other times they don't - there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. I am running a Dell laptop (new dual core with 4Gb of RAM). Can anyone help?? They only other (painful) choice I have is to partition the disk and dual boot with XP - and run XP for the shows.
