Nor me. I favour the 'ain't bust, don't need fixing' approach to
upgrades, but in this case, of course, it (Photodesk) is bust. If I
could be sure that upgrading to 5.19 would persuade it to work, I
would do it. I understand also that 5.19 offers benefits over
preceding 5.xx versions such as networking and internet (but not HD4
support)?
