newbie to poker tracker/office/manager

[The_Dealor]

i have never used any of this kind of software before and think its about time i started. i have downloaded poker tracker but it says something like i have to register to store more than 1000 hands in my database.

if im honest i have no idea how to get the best out of this software, i can barely work it at all. iv been looking around poker tracker all morning but still dont have much a idea.

whats the best software to use, preferably a free one to start with. and how do i use it?

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks,

michael.
