What version of winblows is this? With 2K or XP, in the applications window of the Task Manager (cntrl/alt/del), you should be able to select the ap and then 'Switch To' in the lower part of that window. You may also need to leave this alone until you are certain Bryce has stopped rendering (in my case next week :) and if switch to doesn't work then (check CPU usage in Processes) you may be out of luck. If this is Win95 or 98, I can't remember if 'Switch To' is an option. Hope you get this working, Will
