...of software being misreported, or hardware that drivers are misreported...I think I have been duped here as well. CNET downloads was a place where you could get reputable software that allowed you to test the full version for thirty days, figure out if it was worth it and then pay the price to keep it. I would never have bought this seeing how poorly it does after just two weeks.
