I wish it was. I'm still on 32 bit Vista HP. I made the mistake of doing the Vista Ultimate upgrade (you get 32bit & 64bit in the box) after I'd got all my apps installed. It then wanted to do a clean install. One day when I've got time, I'll slipstream the SP1 and Toshiba drivers into the install and try again.

This was "Macrovision Software Manager has stopped working" when clicking on a Hotfix for Systran. I've lodged the error with Systran because the Problem solver didn't find a solution nor was the problem mentioned on the Acresso KB site.

But thanks for taking the interest.

Ahh, well good to know it's doing something productive through all that noise! Here I was thinking it had problems.

Thanks, I'll try that.
