when i first had IC8 installed on my old pc i had installed along side with other programs and software. so here is my problem. i now have windows xp installed on my new pc and i dont have any of the software programs that i had before. i installed IC8 and restarted my pc and when it starts going through the analyzing phases it hangs at certain percentages all the time with all my dvd's and the analyzing window is black. it doesnt show anything. so then i was thinking that maybe when i installed those other programs i also installed the files that were necessary to make IC8 function properly. cause i had alot files and programs on my old pc and im guessing that those programs also installed some files in the background or something. now, i have installed and uninstalled this software many many many times already and had no luck. i have also cleaned up the registry as well and still nothing. my only question is do u think i should install Visual Basic files, which i hope will help?
