The famous statement "a picture is worth a thousand words" attributed to Fred R. Barnard is certainly important when describing technical issues that could be caused by different operating systems and updates within those operating system, different versions of Crate Pro 6 as they relate to those operating systems AND especially, different utility software that is running in the computer experiencing the issue.


  Using screen captures or video to explain an issue are better than trying to describe the problem. Video is usually better if a series of actions causes the issue. A screen capture can be sufficient if you encounter an error message.


All operating systems offer a way to video or screen capture without the need to purchase additional programs. The included videos will provide a visual for the steps.
