You know I don't mean to butt in this way I just thought I would just say
there's an awful lot of people having problems upgrading from 12 and 13 to
14. I haven't had any problems at all installing any of those clean so I
think its the update the upgrade killing everybody. I think that if they
would just do a clean install all would be much better off -- but what do I
know, I'm a new user too.
