Right-click the MA3 icon in that directory.
Hit Preview. The L key works as intended.
Exit the requester by pressing Cancel, and start it again.
Hit Preview. The L key works as intended.
Exit the requester by pressing OK, and start it again.

Repeat until I get bored.  
I am not copying to the Windows/System32 directory but rather I used the just the Windows Directory. I don't think this matters though.

Reading through your steps this statement stands out:
Right-click the MA3 icon in that directory. Hit Preview.

I don't have a preview option when I right-Click the MA3. I have Test, Configure, and Install.

If I do "Test" it DOES work. But this is equivalent to double-clicking the MA3 executeable.

To replicate what I am doing either do one of the three ways:

1. right-click on your desktop and select properties and go to the screen saver tab and select preview.

2. Goto Control Panel -> display then select screen saver tab and preview

3. Just wait a while and let the screen saver automatically start

The "L" key does not work in any of these cases.

I have replicated same behaviour on my other computers so I am pretty sure this is a problem for XP machines.
