Hi Chris,
Well any program that messes up is not worth a candle. I would avoid it.
All the best

Hi, yes it did mess up on my old XP laptop, but only by causing the Video
Intercept to be reinstalled. Anyway the Personal Edition is in fact free of
charge, and is therefore, well, cheap <smiles>! The Pro version was nice,
but it's shareware and I personally didn't need to pay for it if the
Personal Edition does really the same job as the Pro Edition.
