2 years ago...then u probably downloaded from kazaa or something shitty.

bittorrent is the best.

Downloading is cool is you can actually find a full version. Just cross your fingers and hope that the 'full' version you download is just that. You could always end up with a 'seemingly' full version that ends up missing a few important files and registry bits that results in days and days of anquish and desperately trying to figure out what's wrong, only to have to reformat in the end.

I think of it this way: When I download a program, there are many times that problems arise and I have to uninstall it. There are also times when I'm not so lucky, and have to clean it out bit by bit with something like regcleaner, etc. It's normally no big deal because Windows has so many programs that have been developed for such reasons. But do you know how to fix a problem in the OS when Windows won't even fully boot? I don't. That's why for me it has always been worthit to spend the seventy-five bucks.

I know you're not all going to agree with me and some of you are probably going to disect everything I've written here, but again, it's just my opinion. I'm just trying to prevent someone from going through the bs I went through two years ago.

*sheesh* that was a mouthful

I see you're new to this. Stick around this board and you'll learn new ways to avoid those problems.
