dirk5027 has a good point- if the program just won't work on your computer, return the program and ask for your money back. Don't consider the money to be "thrown away"- if your computer meets the "minimum requirements", then the program should work, if not, you should be able to return the product and get your money back. After all, I believe it's called "merchantability"- you buy the product on good faith that it will work on your computer, but after installing it, it doesn't work. And, if it doesn't work, get your monwy back. Yes, you "opened the seal", but how else would you know if it worked or not? If CL refuses to give you your money back, come back to these forums and raise a stink about it.
