  • It doesn't install under Windows 10. An error pops up saying it couldn't open service manager. I'm guessing this is the 64 bit incompatibility issue others mention, but I thought you could still run 32 bit apps under a 64 bit Windows? Isn't that what the Program Files (x86) directory is about?
  • Installed it on Mac OS 10.6 and nothing happened.
  • Please update this project for compatibility with 64 bit Windows 8.1.
  • I am trying to work out how to remove it from my macbook. I like the app but it takes me too long to work out the time lol. Please help with how I can uninstall from macbook with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50)
