Thanks for the replies everyone. It is irritating, but I guess I'll get used to it. I'm using WinXP Pro and with Bryce open nothing works unless I minimize Bryce. Alt+Tab doesn't even work. The task bar at the bottom of the screen shows, but nothing happens if I click on anything there. It kind of freaked me out the first time I opened Bryce. I thought it had crashed my system. Took me a few minutes to find the hidden menu bar at the top. Thanks again for the replies.
