Xtreme 4 updated

Improv,

I can get into my account, but there is nothing there that indicates the xxp4 download is the newer version. I´m waiting. Don´t want to download the old version again.

It looks like we are supposed to laod that file and then relaod over the existing install ? Well I am going to try it as soon as the download is finished.

The file listed in the download box of your account page, although it has the same name as the previous one, is the new build. I downloaded it a while ago and installed choosing the Reinstall option. It works fine, including retaining my previous Tool bars.

To finish off my comments:

I had tried the link with IE7 and, as I mentioned above, never got the download to start automatically and the "click here" link gave me xx not xxp.

I fired up the latest version of Opera and the pro link was there. Downloaded, did a reinstall, re-entered the access code--and there you go. It worked. Why IE7 didn´t want to play, I have no idea.

Thanks to all who tried to help!

Glad that you got it ok. I went in using firefox. And I like the new Black look of the xara.com!

I wonder if these problems are as a result of the new site? Maybe they are still working on it? Having said that though, it really does not make much sense to announce an update when there problems accessing accounts!

Hi,

Also tried to update but in both IE and FF gave me the xtreme4 version
instead of the xtreme4pro version.

Are you guys going to http://www.xara.com/uk/downloads/xtreme/ (download a trial), or are you doing something cleverer which involves logging in first?

I'm using the 'Sign In' box in the upper right corner of the new 'black' home page and logging in from there

I used it before and it wouldn't let me in. This afternoon it did. So I don't know how or why, just that I was able to update successfully. Go figure!

I downloaded the latest version from the trial section. The same file name did not bother me because I usually go by file size and only if it is the same as the earlier one do I start twitching. This time the first version was 50,272 KB and the latest is 51,219 KB.

I uninstalled the earlier version and the new one went in fairly smoothly.
The hang at 71% was shorter than in the first version. However it still stopped at 97% and gave me the restart option window. I chose "yes" and it flashed a "The application failed to initialise..." before going into restart. I don't know if that is serious.

After restart the program appears to be working and the version number is 4.0 DL April 2 2008. The about window expands on this giving 4.0.4845.

The window drip down issue appears to be fixed.
