2 Certification but never got to use it so long gone) I don't think it woul=

be a good thing for me to do it. :-)

thing worked.

even deleting the folder, deleting ALL references to Pixory in the registry=
,
recreating it from latest download did not fix this problem I keep having.

they would be gone.
