After seeing the posts of the last few days it was with some trepidation
that I installed the product tonight. Took about an hour to install and
migrate the data, no problems to report with either the install or the
migration of data.

Home Machine is a 1.8 Ghz Athlon with 1 GB of Memory running Windows XP
Professional which has all the latest service packs and patches. Zonealarm
and Norton either switched off or disabled. It also has Microsoft Office
2003 and Microsoft Visual Basic 6 installed as well as other software.

If I may, as an IT Manager with over 25 years experience, I would make the
observation that writing software for the current environments of Windows
95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT, 2000, XP Home and Pro is a pain in the neck even in a
company environment. The development team dread releasing a new major
version to the rest of the company because this is the sort of thing that
happens. As we all know even Microsoft don't get it right and look at the
resources they have. So with a little time, accurate reporting of the
faults/configuration and patience I'm sure the problems will be resolved.
