I played around with the software while looking at the Vytec and did not have a problem, although the software was unimpressive IMO. I have W2K Pro.

No crashes with me. My problem is getting a consistent download from the 'puter.

I don't have any problems with using the software. I just wish it was a little more feature-rich. One thing I really wish I could do with it, is combine two dives into one. Everytime I hit the surface for more than 3 minute, BAM, it's a new dive. I understand why this is, I just wish, for logging purposes, that I could combine those two into one dive that just happened to have a stop at the surface for a few minutes.

Although it is good for inflating my number of dives...

I also run it on W2K....the only thing that I wish it did is I wish I could add to the fields that show up on the summary (where you see all the dives listed).

I'm guessing that you must have a compatibility issue with other software or a bad copy. I also have a Cobra and SDM 1.4 and the incredibly expensive cable.
I use SDM with W2Kpro and Win 98 and never had a crash.
Have you tried reinstalling a new version?
I have a friend who could not get SDM to work with his WinXP, Finally he downloaded the most recent version from Suunto and that cleared up the problem. By the way, he had to totally erase the old version first. Installing the new version over the old one did not help.
Downloading from the computer to the PC is another thing altogether. The interface is very finicky. I had a heck of a time getting the two to talk at first, then it just started to work. I don't think I did anything differently. It worked flawlessly after that for over a year, 100+ downloads, then it stopped again about 2 months ago. A bit of swearing cleared up the problem and it works again.
It seems to be related to the phases of the moon. Or not.

You CAN change the summary.
Right click anywhere in the summary area. You will get a menu, choose Listbox Properties...
You can transfer fields you want to view or hide. Also you can reorder the fields.

I run 1.4 on W2KPro without any trouble.
If you follow the correct sequence it also shouldn't give hassles downloading.
The sequence is described in help.
