Re: glmf32.dll on x64
Hi, Miso.
Heck, I still don't know what glmf32 does - or is supposed to do.

No, I don't recall your other posts. But, then, I'm an accountant (and
retired), not involved in Photoshop or other high-end graphics, so I
probably would have skipped over any posts on such subjects.
I do run Photoshop Elements, just for family photos. I started with PSE2 on
WinXP Pro and have worked my way up to PSE6 on Vista Ultimate x64. During
the Vista beta, I was running PSE4 and had lots of grief trying to install
and run that on the betas. Finally, just in time for Vista RTM, PSE4 began
behaving for me and it ran well on the final Vista x64. I bought PSE6 just
last month. Its new, darker UI leaves me wishing for PSE4's brighter look
and feel, but I've had no problems installing and running it on Vista
Ultimate x64. I've pretty much left WinXP behind, so I haven't tried PSE on
either the x86 or x64 version of WinXP in over a year. I have Vista
Ultimate x86 installed as a dual-boot, but seldom run it.
In case it helps, I do have glmf32.dll, 457,728 bytes, dated 11/02/2006 in
my Vista x64's Windows\system32, but I don't know what it does. The version
in my WinXP x64 volume is 809,472 bytes, dated 3/25/2005.
