It buffers for about 10 minutes and says it cant access the website.

They claim the problems with the website and not their equipment. I told them, then why is it possible for everyone else to access it and why am I able to access it NOT using their service, i.e. Hot Spot with Verizon.

Ron have you tried going through a proxy server?

I have one option and that is Direct TV and they use, guess who, AT&T.

I have not been able to access any of the xara/magix web sites either. I can get to Xara.com with no problems.

Just opened a file I created in the free trial version of Xara Web thingy and Mothers Union (Sorry can't keep up with all these variant names for Xara products) using the new art brushes and it worked fine in Xara Designer Pro X11. FUN!

I'm not on AT&T, but just a thought: have you tried to change your DNS settings on your network card? If you are getting bad DNS because of lookups directly on AT&T servers, maybe overriding that at your network card will help? n This would make sure that all the addresses along the path would be correct, converting names to IP addresses.

You can get to this by right clicking your network connection down by the clock, clicking "open network and sharing center", then going to "change adapter settings" on the left sidebar of that window. Then select your network connection (wired or wireless according to what you are using), right click it, go to properties, select the Internet Protocol IPv4 and go to the properties for that. Then at the bottom of that screen, you can see the option to specify your DNS settings. For the primary, put in 8.8.8.8 (this is a public Google DNS server). You don't need a secondary, but if you just can't help yourself, put in 8.8.4.4 (another Google public server).

Does that help this issue? Don't forget to turn this back to "automatically obtain" DNS if it doesn't work. If it does work, then it likely won't hurt anything to leave it this way. Those servers have been in place for years and I don't anticipate them going anywhere any time soon.

Ok - so I'll be the first to ask:

I didn't see anything new here that was exclusive to Designer Pro. We all know that we get all the features of the "lower" products in the line, but there's usually something in there for the Pro only users, right?

What is that thing? Is there one this time around? Am I just imaging this?

Auto hyphenation is a new pro only feature. At the end of the text info bar there is a syl- icon that toggles it on and off and in the spell check menu there is a link to a settings panel
