on vista, there is a known bug in keyclone that keeps it from closing correctly - keyclone has acknowledged this a few times and there is supposed to be a fix in the next release.

as for the maximizer issue - i assume when you say "they don't show up in that little dropdown menu" that you are talking about the dropdown box on the main keyclone screen. that box is for entering "commands".

here is a guide to setting up maximizer/commands: [Keyclone] setting up a command to work with maximizer (step-by-step)
