<description><![CDATA[After download and unzip, followed the request to fill the form and after sending my information, no code sent back to me at my email.
Next day I got the code but then it is not useful as time for GOTD is passed!
Is there any scam by P to collect data and give nothing?
What is going on GOTD?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installation/activation process got hopelessly hung up, impossible to proceed or redo, &amp; also hard to find where setup.exe extracted its contents, so I can delete the huge amount of unwanted files now that I cannot use this program at all. Makes me rethink using any Paragon SW in future, as their reliability is severely in question, making them suspect IMO. They admit they had to repackage the setup file [see #45] after posting earlier version... not a good sign when the vendor cannot post a usable form of their installer first time around!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[RE: #97. #52 and others like it:

Being the day after the giveaway, I do not know if anyone will see this, but ... we still were not provided with proper responses to yesterday's reported problems. 

I too had problems installing this on the day of the giveaway under Windows XP(sp3) 32-bit system. First with the 200MB file due to “The key cannot be decrypted” message. Then with the 304MB file as it refused to proceed installation saying I needed to uninstall an earlier version of B&amp;R before I could install this one. So, I uninstalled the B&amp;R Home Special Edition (the only B&amp;R I had), which had been installed last year from a previous giveaway. However, I still got the same error. Unfortunately, when the error occurs, this B&amp;R installation fails to identify exactly which of the Paragon Software I still have installed is causing the conflict. I still have other Paragon products installed such as an old System Backup, Drive Backup, Drive Copy, Partition Manager, HD Manager (all from previous giveaways). Exactly which ones would need to be removed to permit installation of this B&amp;R 11 Compact version. I already wiped out and lost the B&amp;R Home SE version and I do not wish to wipe out and lose the other Paragon software still installed just to find out at the end that the conflict has not been resolved. If this is a bug with Paragan's installation routine for this product, then Paragon should come out to tell us before we proceed to remove their other software we have installed on our system. 

It appears that Paragon itself gets confused and is unable to keep track of all the variations of software it releases. Too many of its products have many overlaps in funcionality between them that it become difficult to know which one is best for our needs. Plus, their naming conventions are very confusing at best, too (eg. Personal edition, Special edition, PRO editions, FREE editions, Compact editions, Manager editions, etc.).  Paragon might have reliable software and all, but it seems it is creating a situation un-necessarily more complex than it needs to be (i.e. both for itself and its clients) and I'm losing confidence in them.  

Another thing that is irksome and very annoying is that we often end up wasting time on these giveaways is when we are not told whether or not this version is the same as one given away in the past or when it is a newer version we are not told what the new modifications are, so that we can decide whether or not the new version is even worth the downloading of it to install it on our system. This is an issue with not just the Paragon giveaways.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[RE #52 and others like it:

We've gotten no answer about the invisible previous version error, and intallation time has run out on this giveaway. Since I, for one, uninstalled previous GOTD versions, I am now left with no B&amp;R at all!

Please help!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wow... 305 MB!!!  that change from 200 MB to over 300 MB may kill my ability to download and install this program....  I had just under 30 min to complete the task, and 200 MB would take about 20 min....  but 305 MB will take over 30 min.   Why did this get bigger??]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Give me a BREAK. As soon as I finished my comment above, I found an email from Paragon, confirming my newsletter subscription. When I followed the link to use to unsubscribe from that newsletter, I found that there's no way to unsubscribe until I create an account with Paragon. Of all the STUPID marketing practices. That's EXACTLY why I quit dealing with them long ago. But I forgot how stupid their practices are and decided to try today. Don't bother sending me any more emails, Paragon. They're going to be rejected as SPAM. I am SO MAD right now.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[
	<em>"Paragon Boot Media Builder (stand-alone wizard that helps to prepare a WinPE-based bootable environment) is not available, but you can create and use Linux/DOS-based Recovery media with built-in Recovery Media Builder. </em>"

	Are you joking? So, many of the people who installed this today will be in for a rude awakening if their system fails. Do yourselves a favor. Get Acronis True Home Image. It creates a boot option so that if your system files get corrupted and Windows won't boot you press F11 to launch Acronis. Connect the external, navigate to the back-up image and waaa--laaa. Your system is back to the exact way it was when at the time of the back-up.]]></description>
