I have this flash as well. I have the K100D - does anyone have any issues with this setup? Also - does anyone have a quick and dirty guide to flash photography? I've never been able to use an external flash with consistent success. Thanks! Ed On 5/30/07, Patrick Genovese [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Walt, I have run PSE5 (with the patch) on a Vista machine without issue. I don't recall if I loaded PSE5 and then the patch or PSE5, run the program and then realize the patch was available. Either way, I don't do much PSE on the Vista machine, but it does work. Thanks! Ed On 3/14/07, Walter
