What´s new in version 6.30

* Spectaculator now runs on Windows Vista:
o Added Windows Vista application manifests so Spectaculator runs natively, without any File/Registry virtualisation.
o There is still a bug which crashes Spectaculator when hardware DEP is enabled (although it runs fine on XP SP2). The cause is the software licensing system. We´re working with the vendor (who are working with Microsoft) to get this resolved but, in the meantime, the installer will add Spectaculator to the DEP exemption list.
o Microsoft have removed WinHlp32.exe from the Vista distribution. This prevents the context-sensitive help on the dialog boxes from working correctly. See KB917607 for more details.
o Fixed initial population of the favourites list.
* Fixed a critical bug that could randomly crash the emulator on Intel Core 2 Duo processors. Quite a few people have reported this as a Vista problem but it´s actually hardware specific.
* Fixed a bug which, under certain circumstances, allowed the emulation to be paused when recording an Action Replay (RZX file) in tournament mode.
* Various minor bug fixes.
