On the front of my house is a plaque with the house number on.  It also has a picture of a cat because the previous owner was a cat-lover.  Out of the mouth of the cat hangs a (Logitech) mouse because a friend of mine is a nutter.

I think some things to do with computers are interesting. :D

PS. My house also has windows but they are very reliable!

Sounds like the usual 'i will fix your computer if you just run me, but reality is all i'll do is install a load of nasty' type crap.

If your windows system is 'dangle berries'ed, rebuild it. If its XP, it's probably 3yrs overdue a rebuild anyway.

Or more likely you'll just get a trial version for free which has about 5% of the claimed functionality, definitely not including the bit the you want.  You then have to pay for the entire product, which, if it works at all without destroying your computer, probably still won't fix your problem. :(
