CVGS update fixes Final Fantasy conflict Justin Jay writes: "The Connectix Virtual Game Station 1.4 update fixed whatever bugs caused Final Fantasy VII to become unplayable at certain points in the game. This wasn't listed on the Recommended Games page." Magnet Menu update fixes conflict with Word Mike Salesin found that the Copy and Cut commands in Word's Edit menu were dimmed and could not be selected. The cause turned out to be Gadget Software's Magic Power Menu. Updating to the now-renamed version of it - Magnet Menu - fixed the problem. QuickTime downloads still confused?
