Stop your crying . . . Yeah, well, I haven't had that prob. But when has M$ EVER taken responsibility for ANY of its junk f**king up a system (which it does VERY regularly) - you ever read their EULA? Virtually every piece of software disclaims liability in its EULA, usually providing only...

Mixed up person . . . They're probably mixed up with a company's product - like East-tec. Same name, but commercial product. For my $.02, this OSS product is better and the price is right. :D If you ordered their product, you should get yourself a refund and use this product instead. 8)
