Since switching to Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, I am having a problem with
the eraser tool in Fireworks. There is a noticeable flicker while using the
tool, and it moves with a very slow and jerky motion, making it difficult to
erase with any precision. Is this just a 64-bit problem? Are there any
Windows settings I can tweak to make the eraser tool smoother?

Switching to Vista Ultimate 64-bit from...what? If XP, then the problem is that
the bitmap tools are not compatible with the Aero interface. You can either
turn Aero off completely, or just for Fireworks.

To turn Aero off for Fireworks, do the following:
- Find the executable (Fireworks.exe)
- Right-click and select Properties
- Choose the Compatibility tab
- Select the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" checkbox and
"Windows XP (Service Pack2)" dropdown and "Disable desktop composition"
checkbox.

When you run Fireworks, the color scheme will switch to Vista Basic. But your
bitmap tools will work. Aero is restored again when you exit Fireworks.

Good points Lorraine

Just a note, this Vista/Aero and Fw is corrected in the CS4 beta.
