No problem, glad it's working :D
I'm not sure if there's a serial or cracked version out there, but it's nice to have since the site gives information on processes, etc if you are a Plus member. Helps me out in a bind when I have no clue what a certain process does or when some BS new startup program comes along. :victory:

I'm sure there is a cracked version if you look hard enough. For my purposes, the freeware version is adequate thus far. I just have to be wary of what gets loaded up from now on....not that I would ever guess that the graphics utility program that comes with Nvidia drivers would cause my comp to crash. :sweat:
But yeah I could see how the PLUS version would be very useful. Thanks again.
Just dug this up about SuperDigitalMedia from the Digital Camera Resource ( http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?p=289374 ):
Now, I know that template sites are easy to just mock up real fast, and with VOIP, which is a scammers dream, you can establish a presence that purports to be anywhere, but how in the heck do they populate a catalog with thousands of products that appears to be mostly current technology? Theres a few clues, which is that some products they offer are discontinued in every other sales channel that shows up in a Google search.
So, I wonder if they just scrape it from other websites. There has got to be some low-cost, automated way of doing this, if its not a legitimate business, which is looking to be the case.
So here are all the red flags on this "company", to recap:
a) template style website
b) prices "too good to be true"
c) numerous suspicious and blatantly false statements
1. located in Mt Laurel, NJ , at the CompUSA headquarters - this cannot possibly be truthful.
2) billing in Europe for "tax reasons", as if this can possibly be legit; all web-based companies would do this, if it were actually valid to do business that way and resulted in some huge savings. When was the last time anyone associated Europe with low taxes, anyway?
3. "in business for many years", and yet they have only a few pages results on Google. Not only that, there is a record of a deleted/expired domain name in early 2007. A company that had been around for many years doesn't let its domain just expire and go up for auction.
d) form-letter style email responses to clearly different inquiries
e) no answer at their various phone numbers, only a recording.
f) spoofed/hidden WHOIS data and masked IP's
g) sending email from Yahoo Business Mail instead of sending from their own domain. That's not a huge red flag by itself but in combination with all the over things, is certainly suspect
h) not accepting traditional methods of payment and instead insisting on Western Union money orders with an international destination
i) someone with a username of "superdigitalmedia" has been joining forums and making posts, rating products, over the last week or so. I believe this is just an attempt to create hits on google. I've got a few ideas to backtrack the identity of this user, but it might take me a few days.
Conclusion: these guys are probably NOT a real business and are instead more likely one of the more sophisticated 419'ers on the web. (Nigerian Scammers). They may have US based accomplices, but so far its not clear to me that they have any business presence at all in the US. I would be very surprised to learn anything to the contrary.
