Really? Hmmm just did an uninstall, and re-installed v2010.200 and man, am I impressed.
1. no error (vista message?) on installation.
2. much quicker starting qimage.
3. seems to process prints a lot quicker.

Mind you, I haven't uninstalled/reinstalled this program in - what probably 4 years - until today (of course this was after re-setting qimage on startup). Might be worth it to re-do this annually.
Still a happy camper..

Thanks for the thoughts Fred, I finally got my v2010.200 to run - had to reset the whole shebang. Printer profiles, the works. But it is running <g>.
I'll try the uninstalling and reinstalling later today, see if the cures the 'installing correctly' message.
Later.

Qimage v2010.200 (02/19/10):

    ddisoftware, Inc. has just released a significant upgrade to its Qimage photo printing software.
Hmm, how many years have I been running Qimage? Too many apparently. Loaded up v2020.200 on my Vista 32 laptop - resulted in the usual 'has this software installed correctly' blurb.
But on trying to run the program, it freezes on the Qimage logo and never comes up. Then Vista goes on to 'review' why qimage did not open properly.
1st time that has ever happened to me.
Re-install?
Thanks for the assist.

Bob, Thanks and a belated welcome to the forum with your first post.
I actually slowed it down to 8x rather than using the full 16x; it just means waiting a little longer.

Thanks for the belated welcome, Terry. But I've been here (and on the group) for a while - and have often posted (in my mind) - being a lurker of sorts <grin>.

But Fred may have another answer just as well with:
When we needed blanks (DVDs), we tried the least expensive, and then one  step up, and then another step up. Not a big price difference, more like 10 dollars a hundred from top to bottom of the scale.
We did find a difference though.
The cheaper ones had more 'duds' per hundred than the better ones, and the next up, better yet, no duds per hundred.
By more duds per hundred, I would judge 12 out the hundred would fail.
We ended up using the best of the three since the wasted time re-doing the project because of the dud was certainly worth the extra 10 cents.
Since I don't burn 'that many DVD's' I tend to purchase those from the better known brands - usually more expensive that the bottom basement names. So I guess a combo of both might be in order?
Therefore, I don't experience very many (if any) bad dvd's. Lucky I guess.

I am catching up on archiving to DVD.
I read somewhere recently that if you write at slower speeds, then a more durable impression is made onto the DVD.
Is this true? I am using 16x DVD +R discs.
Terry.
I don't think they are more durable, Terry, but they are more 'compatible' with different DVD machines if you 'slow' down the burn routine a notch or two from it's upper end.
