Well, I went to town this evening - and much to my suprise I found Photoimpact 8.5 at the local Officemax. I picked up a copy and just finished installing. Everything seems to be working just fine now. I think there may be a problem with the download trial version of Photoimpact xl - I downloaded to 2 different machines and had the same problem .

I'm looking forward to exploring what this particular program can do to help with the problem of Blown out windows that always crop up when shooting poorly lit interiors.

Thanks
Don Maxwell
