Why in the world do people revive threads that started nearly two years ago, dealing with older versions of EW, and complain about the same problems? As Scott and others have stated repeatedly on this forum, the vast majority of EW users don't have this issue, so the problems are most likely with conflicts on individual machines. Thus, it would make sense to complain directly to Microsoft (not other users)with relevant information in order to track down isolated problems. Also, EW3 is significantly changed from EW2, so it probably won't be the same cause.
That said, in the spirit of this thread, let me just state for Microsoft's attention that I still don't like EW's interface, so they better fix it pronto.
