Drooooooooool

I've not installed any of their updates before as they looked a bit confusing! Hopefully the update needed for Overdrive will be a simple .exe

Hi Richard,

It says on the website that it is due for release but I couldn't find out when.

It does look good though and even better that's they are releasing as a freebie.

Have a good day.

Cheers
