many people have already reported problems with using it.
asked the author a question once before about support of 64 bit since he advertised it to be, web site said different.
he responded with a snotty rude response of read far.
read it correct, he advertised it as compatible, his web site said beta, use at own risk.

so far as I am concerned he has a bad attitude and the program is crap.
tried it, worthless.
only way to get anything decent is to buy the upgraded version.
he also plays on the original TweakUI name to confuse users.

he never responds to questions or problems reported with it.
