Thanks for your help - however, the only program that has real-time protection is Microsoft Security Essentials, and I turned that off. Then, when I opened the .mpt file the transformer image was gray and clicking on that only, eerrmmm, colorized it.
I uninstalled CloneDVD, restarted my computer and started the process from scratch. The same thing happened - the transformer was now grey and only became red and blue (with a hint of grey) upon clicking upon it.
...and I have no idea what I can do now (and I very much assume that it's ok that the crack seems to be for CloneDVD 5.0.1.6 while the program itself, in the download is, according to the folder's name, 5.5.0.6?)
