Laptop Alarm (freeware)

Have any of you tried Laptop Alarm from Source 2 ? It is a small (<500kB) program that runs on Windows and causes an alarm to go off if someone tries to steal your laptop (unplug the AC, move the mouse, or shut it down).

Here's a blurb from the manufacturer's website:

QUOTE
Did you ever hesitate to leave your laptop for a few minutes in a public space like a library? No need for that with Laptop Alarm. Laptop Alarm will emit a loud alarm whenever someone tries to steal your laptop. Download the latest version now!

Protects using proven technologies when your power cable or external peripherals are disconnected or when the mouse is moved
Compatible with all Windows  versions
It's just 200 kb!
Laptop Alarm is the recommended solution for anyone with a laptop on the road or in public places.


It has received rave reviews from
Cnet ( Source 4 ),
YouTube ( Source 7 ) and
LifeHacker ( Source 7 ).

I tired both versions 2BETA and 1.20 but I didn't get it to work on my laptop running WinXPSP3. When I run it I can check the options but when I click "lock" everything disappears except my background (I assume it is supposed to work this way). But I can't get any option (dialog box maybe?) to unlock it. It also doesn't make any alarm when I unplug the AC so my guess is something on my laptop isn't functioning well with it when I lock it (AV perhaps)... But from the great reviews it seems to do what it is supposed do. I didn't try it on another computer or disable any runnig programs yet.

Figured I would post it here in case anyone else finds it useful and it works for them!
