Thanks for the swift reply.  I'm supposing that v4.52 is mostly a compatibility release addressing Windows 7, but there's no drawbacks in installing it on Windows XP (?).

I'm running v4.31 on Windows XP Professional.  Is there a "smooth" way

to upgrade to v4.52 without having to recreate a lot of settings?  Are there any "gotchas" (i.e. features that have been removed or drastically altered) I should be aware of?  Thanks for any tips.

Just get the full installer and install it over the current version as an update.  As long as you have not added anything outside of the normal installer to the system there will be no problem at all since it does not affect your settings.

 FWIW, you really do not need v4.52 but you should be running v4.51.
