Ammended 11th October 2005
Be carefull and check your Computer system setup [Windows] against the requirements for the PhotoImpact Ver. 11
-------------------
After downloading the Ver. 11, I found would not install on my computer ["Windows ME"]. At the start of installing the program I received a message = only supports Windows XP or Windows 2000".

Be carefull the "System Requirements" as shown on the "Buy" page [Just under the PhotoIpact Icon] suitable for Windows 98/ME/Xp .... appear to be not correct??
Have a look within the "System Requirements" link [Shown on another related page RH side Menu] = "Box Version" for Windows 98 SE, 2000, Me or XP = "Download version" being suitable for Windows 2000, XP

So, after this it looks like I have only two options left?
[1] Keep using PhotoImpact Ver. 10 and the find someone to puchase my downloaded vesion of Photoimpact 11.
[2] Go out and purchase a New Computer with Windows XP and make sure the purchase exceeds all specifcations and especially the RAM exceeds the 256 MB of RAM

Now you must have a read of the requirments between the the variations of the "Boxed" and "download" programing

Regards
Why is there a difference???

I bet it's related to some digital rights management that's only available in W2K and XP. I noticed that the download version requires product activation over the net but the boxed version doesn't.
