I downloaded and installed this newer version and had to uninstall it. I kept getting an access violation message. I'll go back to the previous version.

Glad I held off then!

Could have, I guess, set mine to run as XP. But the older version was fine on Windows 7 RC, so I'll reinstall that one.

Hmmm... Runs ok on the XP and Vista machines I've installed it on. Supposedly, the Win 7 compatibility was improved.

You might shoot them an email. They don't usually respond but I know they read them (they pushed out a build of FastStone Capture with a fix I requested within a few days.)

Thanks Han. I will email them tomorrow. I reinstalled the version 3.9 for now and it's working ok.
