Hello,
I really like the idea of this program and I hate to complain because the price is so excellent, but I found microbreaks every three minutes was a bit much, and I wanted to configure it for the 20-20-20 deal anyway, so I changed the preferences around and now I don't get any micro breaks.  The other timers seem to be counting down correctly, but, I changed the micro breaks to happen every 20 minutes for 20 seconds, and now it counts down to a variable random time then every timer stops for a few seconds and it resets itself to count down from 20, with no alerts or prompts.
I don't know what would happen at the other break time and daily limit because it's bed time now, and my eyes are tired! I changed those to be a 10 minute break every 2:45 and a daily limit of 10 hours. I messed around with the applet, not knowing anything about it. I changed it to have a cycle time of 1 from whatever the default was. I thought it was going to help as it went from resetting at 16 minutes to go but at 3 minutes to go it reset itself again. 
Those are the only changes I made to the preferences. Should I have done more than what I did to get what I want? Or should I try reinstalling the program? I am running Windows 7 and I have plenty of free space on my drive.
Thanks for any help you care to give.
Elaine
