1-Background has made me have a headache - 2-I have tried every 6 ways to Sunday to find out how to register & ?how long is the program activated for (mine says uncertain) 3-yes ?why is the price so high 4 -- there should be VERY large warnings for users who might think that because something is sleeping -it might not be necessary - working with it today & the fonts (italic, etc.) on the size of the screen makes it VERY difficult to read - hope this helps - thx GAOTD & Abylon
