kay... ive downloaded... redownloaded and removed and downloaded every version over and over again... and everytime... the download says its successful... but when i go to start lime... the program starts up... then like three seconds later disapears from the screen... it doesnt even give me time to click on the "later" button when the "why go pro" box appears... every other program i ve installed runs just fine... and i am using windows XP version with DSL and the latest version of JAVA... so im thinking either there is a problem with the compatibility in the systems somewhere... or theres a problem with the program itself... i would consider buying the pro version... but if i cant even try the basic to see how i like it... then i dont want to be comitted to purchasing it... ive tryed using the forums to see if i can find anything on how to fix the problem... but there was no help there... so if you have any suggestions that would be great... thanks for you time... and help...
