Hi Peter, Sounds like it! :-( I always install in parallel ;-) - that way the new one automatically picks up the settings from the current occupant - after I run it once, to verify all settings etc., properly cloned, I then delete the previous version, and drag'n'drop the new one to normal location. Someone else may have some input for you. you'll find the new 3.5.3 Media version is a *lot* faster than 3.0.14.
