Hi I had a similar experience with Vue I downloaded the demo to find that I couldn't save the pics which meant that it wasn't worth me even attempting anything complicated (several hours work)just to be wasted. To add insult to injury I got a free copy of vue 2 from a magazine, thorght great I'll now be able to experiment! only to find vue 2 not compatible with XP! I can't afford the risk of buying a prog for over 150 to find I may not like it so your not the only one Dave
