I tried Topdesk however when I went to un install it. It said this program can not be uninstalled!. (Yes i went through add & remove) I have tried every possible to un install this program and still it remains!. Pretty sad you have to FORMAT just to get rid of 1 program that hangs. I did recommend this program to my friends. And a few liked it enough to buy it. I also liked it, i just do not have the money to buy it!. I like to test programs and I have for many years done a lot of beta testing. I need help to finally remove for good this hanging program. That it seems lol many of the un installer I have tried can not remove. Thank you Hello, I have Windows XP Pro!

I downloaded it for the first time just to see if it was all that everyone said it was and it tells me that I am past my evaluation time limit.... well at least let me try it before you tell me that. I guess i'll just have to buy it or just upgrade to VISTA first. It’s nice to Know that at least some people got the chance to even try the software.

It would be nice to see what we are missing...as to help us make the jump. I love the price though...I am tempted to go ahead and buy it since it is so reasonable...$10 I spend that when I go out to eat at lunch. =) I might have missed this feature but does the trial version list the features that are disabled?

I did use PayPal, but it was a credit-card transaction. My receipt does not point out that an eCheck was used (I've not heard of one before now) so I'll drop your customer service a line. Not that I mind waiting, but the sooner the better. :) Thanks for the quick response. Hi again. I did use PayPal, but it was a credit-card transaction.

If you didn't pay by eCheck, contact us through the customer service request form and we'll sort it out first thing Monday.

As an off-topic question, I bought 2 licenses yesterday and am awaiting a download link or activation code or something. What is the average turnaround time for registration?

Not allowing the app to launch at startup may a bad thing though - I rebooted shortly after installing topdesk, and almost forgot to launch it again. but glad i did! so maybe allow launch at startup, but with preferences forgotten, as now. having said all that, as soon as i get my paypal re-activated, i'll buy it. so the trial cant be too bad (not a great name though! maybe something more descriptive of what the app actually does?) the nag-every-10-goes idea seems the way forward (I haven’t used any of the other trial versions to compare, though) as it’s annoying, but not infuriating.

I used a competitors, but it seemed to have issues and ran slower than it should. This runs great and fast! I will give it a try for a few days, but I tihnk I am a future owner of this software. I always have a lot of windows open. My system is already burdoned though, even with 1 gig of memory, from all the little doodads I run, so I need to be sure this doesn't add much more strain. Great bit of programming though. I have to say this is pretty cool. I used a competitors, but it seemed to have issues and ran slower than it should. This runs great and fast!
