Hi,
I've been a user of this software for years now and while it is truly excellent, there is a long standing bug that I hope will be addressed.
I use Windows Magnifier (it's an Accessibility tool built into the XP) and have it configured to use a portion of the top of my screen.
Here's how to reproduce the crash:
- Start Windows Magnifer
- configure it to use the top one quarter of your screen
- exit Magnifer
- start MP3Tag
- either maximize it or have it use a portion of the screen normally occupied my Magnifer
- exit MP3Tag
- start Magnifer again
- start MP3Tag again
- Boom!
Most other apps will allow Magnifer to push them down out of the screen area it occupies but MP3Tag does not do this. The result is a crash in MP3Tag. As I make extensive use of Magnifer and hate to have to load and unload it (I am recently visually impaired), this is a pain in the butt.
I hope this can be addressed.
Thanks...

As soon as I've noticed your continued 4 stars reviews at BetaNews, I've tried to address this issue - without success. I've [posted](http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2301866&SiteID=1) at the MSDN forums and asked for help, but never got a response. I've also noticed that this issue is fixed with Windows Vista, so I tend to blame the XP version of the Windows Magnifer.
Sorry, but at the moment this will remain an open issue.

Thanks for your quick reply. Your proggie is a part of my so-called "Essential Toolkit" and I have used it for years with considerable satisfaction. 🙂 I'm sorry that this cannot be resolved and I have no plans to ever migrate to Vista (I prefer my AMD AM2 6000+ with 4Gb RAM to actually run FAST 🙂 ). I guess I'll just keep switching back and forth.
Cheers and Be Well!
PS: You'll continue to receive a minimum of FOUR stars because your proggie simply Rocks!

You darn well deserve it!
Also, I put the blame where it squarely rests: Micro$haft.
