I think the specs needed for installing pivot are far demanding than what an average PC user has. I for example, still use Windows XP, IE7 and hardware with Intel integrated video chipsets. So there is no way I can try this software till I buy a new system

Thanks. Worked for me (I wonder how they plan to expand on this, but unless you can browse through millions of topics it doesn’t seem too impressive).

Looks like getting to the activation page may not be open to as many readers as you 1st thought John – also running XP here and not likely to ‘upgrade’ for a few months yet… The video looked interesting, I was keen to try it out

Can’t get it to work. Keeps crashing on me. Win 7 x64. I’ve tried several tweaks and it still crashes. I will try it on a different PC next.
