    "Can cause severe DAMAGE to your PC"

    August 6, 2010  |   By lionxlamb

    Pros

    Easy to use.

    Cons

    1.System crashed.I had to install my Operating System again.
    1.Even if you only preview a boot screen it installs it in your pc without permission.
    2.Not much help with editing the screens.
    3.All in all it worst Software I have ever used.

    Summary

    I installed it to preview some boot screens.But it this s/w installed those screens in my pc without my permission,resulting in a system crash.
    So My PC won't start.Thankfully I had my XP Boot cd.so I had to install the Operating System in the same partition again.And then I had to uninstall this software after loging in to newly installed OS in my PC.Then I had to delete the Newly installed OS and only after that I was able to make my old OS install properly.

    This software can cause severe damage to your PC.Don't use it unless you have your boot cd handy or a pro with booting stuffs.It's full of glitches,faulty and very unstable.USELESS.
