Jim,

Sounds like a rights issue if you can not load program. Same with movies. Consult our support forum for answers.

"Change for change sake is not good", thank god some people understand that concept. Lots of room for change for true user improvement and performance sake.

Love the philosphy, hate the execution. I've eadily laid $1,000 in Microsoft's palms over the past 6 years in home PC Windows licensing. I'm now told I need to drop another $350 to upgrade my three machines (running vista and XP) to Windows 7. I'd love for someone as M$ to explain their cost justification when Apple can offer simplified family pack upgrades for a fraction of the cost???
