All I have is the trial(correction:advanced)version, but it won't run. It hangs on the splash screen. I've waited several minutes to see if it's just slow on my old 939 system but no go. TinyXP is the OS.

Thanks.

A fw thing you might want to check. Try a diffrent OS. I dont think tiny XP works. I dont remember. Make sure in system settings that "Adjust for best appearence" is checked and also make sure you're not using the "Classic" start menu in taskbar.

It will run in Win7 if NET 4 Framework and Expressions encoder is installed. (Run in compatibility mode as Vista)

For XP you need Media Encoder 9 installed too.;)

Thanks. I read last night about media player 10 and media encoder 9. I have WMP10 now I'll get the media encoder 9 and see if it will work.:thumbsup:

I got WME9 and WMP10 now. Does it really take several minutes for PCMark05 to collect system information?

It seems to just hang on the splash screen forever with my cpu @ 100% load. The system doesn't hang though, just PCMark05.........or does it just take forever on an old 939 rig?

EDIT: got it working. I needed newer that IE6 installed I think even though it says you can use 6. Now it works fine. Now I have to go through and run this on all 939s. Sweeeeeeet!
