Maybe you could try the new StartupDelayer, from R2 studios, where you can delay one application after another and see when the issue arises.  But you would need a reboot for each tested configuration.

Thanks for sharing that.
Do you remember why you chose File Hamster over AJC? was it because of the file format?

BTW, I recently learned that AJC internal format is actually zip...

I am trying to find out how to configure this software (newsbin), I keep getting download errors/warning.  Could someone recommend a news server so I could try it for real !  Thanks.

Ok, you're going to hate me for that, but here is another remark : I have a very wide screen (nowadays standard unfortunately), and the "More" is too far on the right, while my attention is on the center/bottom of the screen.  I might have missed it if I were not looking for it.  What about placing the "more" just below "coming this fall".  BTW, how did the guy on reddit got hand on V2 ???

Thanks for the comments and kind words, guys. Much appreciated.

Merle, did you get confused by needing to click on the Info on the first screen or by needing to scroll further after clicking on Info? I will go through logs to see how many people did not click on the Info, it should be an interesting metric.

I think I clicked on Info, thus revealing the 2nd page, but didn't think I had to scroll down to see the rest. So it's the mix of click and scroll that confused me, I guess.

Anyway, I find it more important to have an outstanding bvckup2 than an outstanding website (see vopt.com, cf. the 'various sources' comment, for instance, which shows the sense of humour of the developer....)

Actually it took me some time to realize I had to scroll the page down to see all 

Also, even if very "minimalist", the first version of bvckup is already very powerful and highly configurable, I sort of miss this impression in the new website.

BTW, bvckup recently saved me a lot of time : my data partition got corrupted, I have weekly image of it but that was not enough.  Since I have a regular bvckup copy of my Windows Live Mail data whose original was damaged because of the corruption, I was able to restore the whole mail data (I barely stopped the bvckup process in time, so as not to overwrite the "good" backup by damaged data).

Any ETA for V2 ?

Thanks !

Funny : I tried again the same link from another machine, this time I got the standard order page, not the giveaway's one.  Seems to me that the website is doing something specific according to the source IP.

Yes and no, thanks !   Actually I don't see the 2 green lines, that is the 2 download links.  They don't display on my system.  I'll try again...

Thanks 'lanux128', I am retrying with IE 7 & adMuncher disabled... And I still get the same result.  BTW, there is a nice typo in the coupon image, is says the 71% are valid up to November 23rd 2011.  Anyway, no big deal since I already have a GOTD license, it's just that it seemed weird. Maybe some kind of IP filtering...

Thanks.  And strange : when I click on http://www.softpedia...Deluxe-Edition.shtml
then on http://news.softpedi...-Deluxe-207093.shtml ("Click Here for more details"), I get a different result.  URL is http://www.vladonai.com/ and I see the 71% discount for the lifetime version, but not the free license...

Not really answering your question.  xplorer2 would be near to perfection if only the search function was easier to use and not relying on scrap containers. And folder synchronization is also tricky to use.

Sorry if this has been already said, but did you try to use the regular system restore using a restoration point prior to Miro update/install ?  That surely would solve the issue ?

Actually my question only applies to the situation where you already had SD 2.5 running (at session opening).

Hi,
I use SD 2.5 on a machine.  Do you know if it's ok to install the new version over the old one ?  Anyone did try that ?

Today on Softbuy.com for $5.  I have used the current demo version for editing Mpeg2 files and it works really fine. I also used it yo reindex .wmv files.  I don't think it can edit H264 files though.

Avira (free version and maybe payware ones) : there is a special url you go to in case of a false positive and where you can upload the file in question (there is a size limit).
