Changes and bug fixes:
* Fixed help file access and various visual problems, such as disappearing controls, when running on Windows Vista.
* When dragging a tool window around and in/out of the dock bar, the contents of the tool window will now remain visible. Over the dock bar, a partially transparent blue rectangle is now drawn instead of a framed border.

* Ultra Fractal now correctly initializes the Minimum number of threads option in the Fractal tab of the Options dialog to the number of processors or cores that is installed, which enables the program to take advantage of dual-core systems automatically.
