Not heard anything, and I don't use it, but I'm sure someone who does will help, Jim.

No, but I haven't updated to the latest version following reports of problems that I've seen.

That sounds a bit strange? Any more info in the error message?

The reports I've seen point the finger at AMIP for iTunes. There's apparently a fix here: http://amip-for-itunes.software.informer.com/

I've not tested it.

It says it hasnt passed the windows logo thing Rik, similar to when you install drivers that havent been certified by microsoft I should imagine.

If you really want to install it I would set a restore point manually, in case it doesnt do one automatically, then if it does do something nasty you should be able to restore your pc to before you installed it.

There was me thinking only Avant had that feature Sandra!  Obviously Explorer also has it.   ;D
