Fixed the crash part... now back to those clams..

..... Except, perhaps, there is still a bit of a bug / inconsistency.

If I select preview in the Windows Display Properties the SS will start.. in whichever mode I last had it in.. full or windowed... With any "Windows" SS any key press will close the preview mode and return to the Display Properties box.. Not so with MA3Beta.scr, it only responds to those keys the beta users are familiar with.

And.. if.. I had MA3Beta.scr running in a window.. I can close (cancel) the Display Properties window yet leave the MA3Beta.scr running. This is not an issue with the Windows SS because they all open full and any key press closes the SS.

Not a big deal... but inconsistent with normal Windows behavior. (normal being an oxymoron)

Note.. this is when MA3Beta.scr is copied to Windows\System32.. perhaps an installation may differ.
