December 20, 2008: Several Vista users have reported bugs regarding the GECK crashing when clicking on items in the object palette list and/or when accessing/editing AI packages. A suggested [http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=924996&st=20&start=20 workaround solution] is to disable tablet functionality in Vista when using the GECK.

When the "Windows Features" dialog box appears, unselect "Tablet PC Optional Components", click "OK", and restart Vista.
