06 without sp-1, is the only thing i have, and am using, and basically i just don't even think about using cmp's download "helper". it WAS a bear to indstall, from the five cd's. but other then half of cmp not working exactly like its interface sort of looks like it ought to, and 06 w/o sp-1 not being able to find the maps of layouts created with 06 and later, those are, as far as i can see, not having had earlier experiences with previous iterations, the only real, to me shortcommings of it. (and those, i'm led to believe, would be solved, if, when, one of these days i get arround to sending off for the dvd that includes sp-1, which is also, or was, downloadable on line, sp-1 that is, if you've got a connection with enough bandwidth it won't take longer to download then your isp, and or phone company, will let you stay on line)
sounds to me, like the op was pretty darn luckey in a lot of ways. i mean life is always a mix of every kind of luck for almost everybody. i know mine has been.
i found my trs 2006 in the local fry's (big computer and tecnology store), the only one, kind of tucked away hidden, almost behind the regester, behind almost everything else, on the bottem shelf, in the games section, where i don't even usually bother looking.
it said 19.95 on the box, and its still the best 20 bux i've ever spent on a piece of software.
even if it did drive me up the wall trying to get it to install when i first got it.
