I have been working with Mnemosyne version 2 for the past two days and everything is working fine. Peter asked whether i followed the complete instructions in the "other thread." I don't know where this thread is. My suggestion is to show a link in the Download area to any issues one might encounter when upgrading, such as the necessity to uninstall the old version of Mnemosyne, and also what to expect. Since there were no comments showing, i just hit Download and then experienced a bit of a panic attack when i ran into problems (to be cautious i had not uninstalled the old version and that was exactly what was causing the problems).
