In other words, for 1/2 hour it just sat there doing nothing because I needed to delete PT, but the alert telling me to do that was hidden behind the AL window. Finally, I uninstalled per instructions, then AL did the install...which still took a good 20 minutes.



Avid really needs to change how AL handles updates and installs. Why on earth would an important pop up alert be hidden behind the AL screen in the first place????!!!!
Oh yes...that little wonder I now glance at the task bar during any installs in case I see some flashing(which USUALLY happens when something is hiding that needs attention).
