Ear Training

For some reason I have developed the inability to distinguish major and minor thirds in harmonic form. The result is a lot of frustration. I can hear them ascending, descending and have no problem distinguishing major and minor triads. Yet, when they are played harmonically it is a crapshoot. Some are easier to hear than others depending on their placement, but for the most part, I'm better off flipping a coin.

I have downloaded a great piece of software to help me with my ear. . . EarMaster It's helping, but I get stuck on the thirds every time. I think I need to figure out some other identifying characteristic on the way these things sound.
