First of all, I think you have to upgrade to sp3.
A lot of problems with appearance in combination with photoworks
are solved.
Concerning photoworks render option not working, maybe you have the
preview window open when you also click on render button?
SW crashes with my system when I do that.
Close preview window before clicking on render button.
Do you use dual monitors? I have had the same thing happen
when I changed some monitor position settings. Fix it by swapping
the monitor positions in the control panel and seeing if the
options box show up there.
