Im wondering what would happen if you install the non-beta version of SX-key.  I know this sounds like a run-around...but I guess that is the required nature of beta's.

It's no problem...I am also curious...There seem to be a lot of people who are really down on Vista, but for no proven reason.  I haven't had any problems with it, so I am interested to see if this is a problem...

:D

So, unfortunately...it is probably important to get more idea of what is going on. I would recommend the following options:

-Try saving the SXB file to your desktop or a well-known directory to see if it shows up there.  (sometimes paths can get confusing with users/program files/... stuff.)

-Try a release version of SX Key to see if it may actually be the beta version of SXKey that is the problem.

-Make sure that Windows is reading SXB files correctly:
-Make an .sxb file outside of the SX-Key environment, and see if both Vista and SXKey recognize it.
      -Open up Notepad (all programs | accessories)
      -Type something in the window such as "Hello World!"
      -Select 'Save As'
      -Choose a directory and Save the filename as "Test.sxb"
      -Change the 'Save as type' to "All Files"
     
     -Verify the file shows up where you saved it in explorer
           -This shows that windows reads the .sxb file correctly
     -Verify the file shows up in SX-Key
           -Open up the file, and verify that the only text in the editor is "Hello World!"
           -This verifies that SX-Key is reading .sxb files correctly
