It seems that the OP's first issue was the absence of the second-person, singular, pronoun in Swiss-German-English. 'You'.

I notice, also, on the home page, this:

'Total Commander, Version 7.57a, is a Shareware file manager for Windows® 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7, and Windows® 3.1.'

It's not exactly a question of English, but I'd suggest a rephrasing, making the current version of Windows more prominent. And English doesn't capitalise adjectives (nor nouns) like 'Shareware'.

'Total Commander, Version 7.57a, is a shareware file manager for Windows® 7/Vista/XP/2000/NT/Me/98/95 and Windows® 3.1.'

(Could the ®s be placed elsewhere?)

'Total Commander is a shareware file manager for Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98, 95 and Windows 3.1.'
'The current edition is Version 7.57a.'

Better visual impact.
