odd,
I had some issues the other week, I was loading CBC and it wouldn't load the page templates. I got round the problem by deleting the shortcut and clicking on the main program link from the pc directory.. I don't know if this is in a similar way,
I have the registered paid version from CBC1. It connects to the net fine and i've never had any problems with their support.
The only issue i had with it was the frame in photo thing, but you can get round that no worries.
