Software - Refund Now it Won't Work?

And now my software won't work properly - when I try to import videos it just crashes. So it's useless. I've checked the Pinnacle…

immobilise.com
Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on https://www.immobilise.com/index.php, a national property register that's accessed by the police whenever they recover stolen goods.
