Q: I’m running Windows 7 and I'm experiencing a lot of stuttering (graphics / sound / input)!
A: We are sorry about that but it is not our fault. Win7 have new CPU-thread management politics which is causing much problems for high-loaded multi-thread applications (like RoF) on 2-core systems.

Useless pile of crap!...if anyone wants my copy, and is prepared to pay postage...it's yours!...and bloody good luck to you!!!!!!!!
