Yeah, I'm being cranky. I haven't bashed anyone who's gotten P5 to work flawlessly, so I'm getting tired of reading how anyone who has a problem with P5 is incompetant or an idiot. I suspect that the programmers did workarounds to try to squeeze performance from outdated code and the workarounds only work on some systems. Of course my system isn't one of them. P5 is seriously strange - from what I can tell, the interface is built from Photoshop .psd files called up by XML code. I've gone in and changed the look of my P5 by messing with the .psd files. I went back and restored the original interface, but it was weird being able to mess with it that way. (And, yes, I was having problems with P5 - latest patch - long before I played with the interface.) Cheers!
