Greeting All :

Thanks for all the comments, the pro edition link seems to have the same
installation zip file downloaded as I did earlier and the link sent to my
email day before.

I'm sure I've all options clicked before installatioin and still no Paradox
found after installed. 

If P9 with service packs is sufficicent for Win10, where can I get the service
packs which I don't have and ends up with no report preview and sudden crashes.

Regards
Richard.
