I have discovered that DD will not start on a XP Home system that has not been activated. I have tried on several virtual systems, but it only runs on the one preactivated XP Pro that came with Windows Virtual PC (host system is Win7). All others show a momentary hourglass and a taskbar entry, and then nothing; no message is displayed. Let me know if there is any information that I can supply to resolve the problem.

Thank you for the problem reports. I guess it's all related to virtualization.
Hopefully our developers will figure out what's going on.

It is doubtful that virtualization is the cause, since it works with the XP Pro that is supplied with VirtualPC. I will try it with an activated system.

I have now tried it with an activated virtual XP Home, and found it still does not work.

My initial test was with version 1.0.0.1 downloaded from Softronics. I have since downloaded 1.3.0.0 from your website and verified that it also does not work. I have attached the output from Belarc Advisor to provide more information on the environment.
