    Sorry to hear about your problem. You are not alone though hun. I am in the same exact boat. I gave up after 4 uninstalls/ redownloads. It is uber lame. I still havent even heard back from PWI from the support ticket entered almost 5 days ago now. Hoping that with maintenence we will be back up and running. Sad to waste 2x on fail descent update. Does yours hang up on you while installing the descent patch or earlier? Keepin my fingers crossed for both of us. b:surrender
