All,
Stardock responded to my last Survey and requested some System Spec info so I created a new Survey asking for this info and added some questions about the crahes, hangs, and bugs you are encountering.
Survey is at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=A5PfAwf4AWuyhmSNL3c83g_3d_3d
Thanks,
Sammual
