I learned the hard way with a Win2k Pro machine as well, tried to install 9.5 I think. No warning, crash/trash. I went into Safe Mode, uninstalled and picked up v-10.0. I installed fine, I ducked a major bullet. Re: free alternatives, agreed that if they exist and work well, use them. LogMeIn.com has been awesome. I use my ftp Server for file transfers. For the few Pro licenses I have I have not yet used their file transfer solution.
