    I hate this thing! It keeps coming up every few seconds even with the don't remind me option being clicked it will go away then just come back in! The only way to make it go away is to shutdown the process "Toaster 32".

    Is there a different way to stop it pushing me to upgrade it to premium since I don't need it? I have to shut it off every time I boot up my R2.

    The only thing that gets on my nerves! :mad:

    Just uninstall it. You can do factory restore manually anyway.

    Boot your system and press f12 when you see the alienhead logo comes up. You will see different boot options. Choose "recovery" and follow the instructions.

    Hopefully you did not delete the recovery partition in your drive.

    There is no recovery option, and no I did not delete anything.

    Theres a bunch of options but none are recovery and none lead to factory reset.
