My PC is XP SP2, after a Restore to factory settings I installed Mitel Your Assistant, it wouldn't even load up.
Simple fix, install .net Framework 1.1!
Why this is needed as the product states .net 1.1 and later, it should say you can runany version of the .net framework, as long as you install 1.1 as well.

aquent financial scam!!
I just recieved this sms text message:
You have recieved J30 from a friend! To collect them go to AqueuntFinance.com/login, temporary username: a571tnk password: gh2x3
best regards, Aquent Financial
The site is very new although it says copyright 2002 on the bottom, and apparently I had £30 in my account, lucky me!
ALl I had to do was leave my personal details and login in to my bank account via their Flash player widget....so easy......
The best bit is this - http://aquentfinance.com/fastcash/test-esl.swf just before they take your login details....
I smelt a rat so did a few google searches, and came up with aquent UK (http://www.aquent.co.uk/Contact/Locations/Europe/london.html) . They offer services to freelance/IT professionals. So the scammers are being dumb and targeting geeks...
I called Aquent UK and they said it was a fraudulent sms and to ignore it, there is an Aquent Finance in th eUSA but it is not the company running the aquentfinancial.co.uk site.
Aquent UK are investigating the scam, so drop them a lime if you get the sms.
Scamming is now coming to a mobile phone near you.
