It amazes me that people post to this forum before or at the same time they contact us. I would think that they would give us a chance to solve their problem before posting here. I suppose people have been so thoroughly conditioned to expect poor or no response from technical support that they don't think to try it first.
If you have a problem with any of our products, send us email at <support at qdea com>. You'll need to add the at sign and the dot to the email address, because we prefer not to receive spam. We typically respond within 24 hours (48 max, not counting weekends) and we *always* respond.
For the particular problem that "joat-mon' mentioned, uninstalling the software (use the File menu to choose "Uninstall") and then reinstalling seems to take care of it. We are investigating what's happening so that we can eliminate the problem.

Contacting Qdea for support - joat--mon
For the record, it was because I had contacted Qdea Technical support on an earlier issue and gotten a useless response that I simply didn't bother with this problem. Their observation is right on target: typically poor responses from technical support have indeed conditioned us. When I got the useless response from Qdea tech support, I was displeased but not surprised--seeing Qdea as yet another vendor that didn't provide great support. When this problem came up, I just didn't expect anything better from them. First experiences make the biggest impressions, but I recognize that any single incident can be a fluke. So it may be that Qdea is generally much better at technical support (at the very least, much better in this public forum than my prior individual experience).Reply to This
