Anyway does is still marked for working in version 4.0.1 it have not
been updated for later version.. And if you havent had it preinstalled
before upgradeing to 4.0.7 then it wont work.

problem is vb changed the block type structure in the database dureing one
of the upgrades.. which causes it not to match anymore..

there is a "manual way to fix this issue"
but its a database edit...
