Hello, Thanks for a quick reply. I never intended to insult the program as such, I'm sure it's great once you learn how to use it, I just didn't have the patience and I was quite in a fit of rage, which I'm sure you can understand, when I wrote the last e-mail.
I don't know which version of Dia I tried to use, I just clicked download on your webpage yesterday, 28/1. I use Windows 7, 64-bit Professional edition. What I did was trying to uninstall Dia, it all seemed normal to begin with but when I checked in on the progress, because it felt like it was taking pretty long time for such a small program, I can see how it also is wiping every other program I had installed on that drive and there's nothing I can do to stop the process.
