I know that the timer thing has been around since I first got the program
over 5 years ago. Unfortunately as to 2.80 I have it although not installed
it at this point so can't comment on that version. If you do find out let
the list know. There is a gentleman named David F IE not me who works for
terabyte tech support who is quite good at his job. I have been 
asked if that was me and unfortunately for me it is not. 

I wish I did know the program as well as he does but then you folks wouldn't
have this list for obvious reasons.

Running IFW 2.80.

First, when I run the installation, I lose access to my Teac internal USB
4-ports and card-reader.  Device manager reports it is running, but it won't
recognize any USB flash drives I insert or any SD or CF cards, although it
will recognize the external drive I plan to put the .tbi backup on.  If I do
a System Restore, functionality is returned to the Teac card-reader.  I've
replicated this twice.

Second, I'm glad I saw this.  If you run IFW for the first time, you have a
countdown timer that allows you twenty seconds to click on either the buy or
purchase button.  If you don't click on it, your copy runs in trial mode
which means you can't restore it after the thirty day period runs out, if I
caught the blurb correctly.  I'm not sure why they've implemented that
feature with the countdown timer, that reminds me of trying to uninstall
some anti-virus program and you had thirty seconds to activate their
uninstall button.  What a pain in the tushy.

Anyway, any ideas on why IFW wants to do dastardly things to my internal
usb/card-reader?

Also, I got a message that the system hardware Id on my hard drive didn't
match that registered on my system.  I assume that is because I had to
replace the old hard drive three years ago.  It offered to change it for me,
but I declined the offer because I didn't know if it would hose my
installation.
