Can we please have the old version back ?


This is a fiasco. This new version has clearly not been tested properly.

If Microsoft had any respect for, or cared for their customers, they would
immediately backoff this terrible version and put the old one back.

Why they cannot properly test new software before releasing it, I cannot
understand.

RE: Can we please have the old version back ?

Craig:

Fiasco is a good word. I noticed the same problem and it seems that the
"new" version has some problems including not syncing all files. (See my
post:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...c-6a0d9ffcb0f2) Below

As of this morning, you can still find the older version at
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Interne...derShare.shtml.
However the list of those sites having the older version is rapidly dropping.

Fortunately, I had the older version, so I uninstalled/reinstalled. My
problems however continued but at least I could sync some files.

Hope this helps

Louis

RE: Can we please have the old version back ?

I also have the instant crash on Windows Vista - could someone point in in
the direction of or possibly send me the 2.5 version installer? I am
"panthar" over at gmail. Might need to rename the extension to get past
their exe file blocker. Or if that fails I can make a temp upload area
somewhere.

Thank you to anyone that can help with this.

Please download the new client, which we put on the website today. It should
fix your problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.
