Did you get a Sunlite brand USB DMX controller? And if so, which suite did you get? You can only get the Full version of Magic 3D Easy View by purchasing either the "First Class" or "First Class +" Sunlite suites. Anything else -- such as the Sunlite "Economy" or "Basic" suites, or any other brand of USB DMX controllers -- will only allow you access to Magic 3D Easy View in Limited mode. http://www.nicolaudie.com/en/home-show.htm

I don't think Limited mode is all that bad, though. It's definitely missing some much desired features; but overall, it helps get the basic tasks done.

....No tool bar comes up when I put it in Construction mode....

Did you Maximize the application to full screen mode? What resolution is your screen set at? The window that Easy View opens to by default is not large enough to show the "Settings..." and "Listings..." areas in Construction Mode. However, you should be able to click-and-drag the horizontal separator bar at the bottom of the view window to see some of the tools.

ETA: Also, if you are still actually running FreeStyler 3.2.2, you should upgrade to the latest beta. There's been a lot of bug fixes and added features since that version.
