Hmm I have a sense of deja vu. 

Anyway the answer is that, new profiles /updates are no longer being submitted to the old database, so you won't get cover scans for profiles that didn't have them at the time the database was closed.

If they are existing profiles with existing cover scans it's a bug as I can download them with no problem.

If you have Win 2000 or above as an operating system you should really upgrade to version 3 of Profiler (download link at the top of the page). If you have a current premium reg with the old version you can get the fully working version of 3 at no extra cost. (See the technical forum pinned thread on how to upgrade before doing anything).

If you don't have a premium reg you will find the program restricted if you own more than 50 dvds.

thanks to the European members for a more civilised reply.

Apologies if this has already been asked - I got to pages 12/13 in a couple of forums and didn't see the question.

Zwollenaar - it is free but "crippled" to an extent that , IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, makes it unusable for a collection of any size.

Thanks to you and Lithurge for your replies - much appreciated 

What , in your opinion -if I may ask, makes it worth the £20/$30 ?

I guess I could download it, have a play, and if I don't feel it's worth the registration carry on using 2.4

Anyone know how it compares on drain on system resources compared to version 2.4 ?

thanks again

Stef:

Upgrade to free 3.x or don't...your choice. But don't whine about it, Microsoft no longer supports Windows ME and prior, is it conspiracy to get more of your money to a large degree...yes. If you don't want to pay ONCE for 3.X and ALL future upgrades ( as opposed to several hundred for every Windows upgrade), you won't find many sympathizers here. Even if as you claim that it is crippled, why shouldn't be, why should YOU are any other user simply be allowed to suck off the Programmer. He has to make a living, or would you prefer that he have a regular job and do this for free on the side....so you can then whine about not getting upgrades.            

SHEEEESH, the nerve of some people.

Not aggressive or unhelpful at all, I found your initial post to be followed by your others to be whining and insulting to the people who have developed this program. Perhaps had I seen only your first post i would have said upgrade to 3.x as several others have done. The attitude that you get is merely a reflection of your perceived attitude, which BTW is quite common place among the freebers, they don't want to pay but they want EVERYTHING.

Upgrade you won't regret it. The program moves on.

Thanks DJ     

You're quite right too - I shouldn't judge all on the 1st two US members I encounter - I think I shall follow your lead and ignore any posts made by the Disney man.

btw is there not a function on this forum, like there is on many forums, that one can put a poster on ignore so you don't even see their posts ?

Thanks again

To try and answer some of your other questions. Yes, if you don't like version 3, you can go back to version 2.4. You can even have them installled at the same time, they don't conflict with each other. However, as the other users have said, the database for 2.4 is no longer being updated, so any new DVDs you add will have to added manually.
Also, if you weren't aware, if you paid for version 2.4 you can upgrade to version 3 for free. Also, you no longer need a key to use version 3 for free, so don't go looking for one.

And as you've already found, some of our fellow users on here are a lot more "sensitive" than others. Whether that's anything to do with their US origins, I couldn't possibly comment.
