You know how when you get a program it might let you have a free trialfor a few days? Well when the trial is up is there a way to remove thisprogram completely, reinstall and then do the free trial again? Uninstalling it and then installing it again doesnt work, the computercan still remember my trial is up. Is there a file somewhere that emembers this, that I can delete?
View 8 RepliesFormat hard drive - Dont want to do this Change date - Tried, doesn't wor Buy it - Contact manufacturer - Will have to do this.i dont really want to spend $20 for a program im planning to use for 1 minute. it was a 48hr trial andi installed it before i needed to use
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow does software keep track of how many days you've been using it? Does it have something to do with the registry?Do you know of any ways to "reset" the software after the trial period has expired? I used to re-load my fresh OS using Norton Ghost then install the software again but it got tedious.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got the trial version of XP x64. I have a 64-bit processor and TuneUp utilities recommends I upgrade to x64. I have a couple of concerns, though. First, just because I have a 64-bit processor does not necessarily mean I have 64-bit drivers and 64-bit compatible programs, does it? Second, if I install the trial version and the trial ends; what then? Will I just go back to XP Pro or will I have sold my soul and be forced to purchase the full version?
View 5 Replies View RelatedCurrent situation: 2 minutes remaining in a repair installation of WinXP Home, I get an error with a large X and the words "has not passed Windows Logo testing." Below that, it says "This software will not be installed...." If I click OK or turn off at this point, the pc reboots and restarts the setup program at 39 minutes remaining. If the CD is not in place, I get a blue screen asking for the CD.

Build 2600.xpsp2.... etc" now loitering on your desktop above the time then you can remove this simply.Open up Regedit and navigate to the keys.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMany thanks for your very helpful forum-I have learned a lot by reading
the comments.I have already downloaded Ewido,Adaware and run them to clear out spyware,adware and odd bits of Trojans that were not totally cleared before.Now
when I run the two programs all I get are tracking cookies.Still my computer
locks up for a minute or so at times,especially when I click on a new window.For a while I put it down to the amount of programs etc I had on my computer.However after clearing out some thing like 245k of programs,junketc etc,the computer still hangs for a while.I have installed more ram memory and run Xram pro to give me back more ram when I run short as some of the windows programs seem to eat up myram especially iexplorer and the longer I run my pc the more it uses.{I knowwindows will give me extra memory when things are critical,but I often needa boost in ram when I am running a webconferencing program].
the problem also happened before SP2 was installed. Frequently [i.e. 2-3 times an hour when I am using the system] and even occasionally when the machine is in StandBy [!] the disk starts cranking away full bore [i.e. the disk light is on almost constantly and it sounds really REALLY busy] for 2-3 minutes ... then it seems to start slowing down and eventually becomes quiet. I don't have a clue what is going on. When I bring up Windows Task Manager and look at the Processes tab I see a couple of entries whose I/O counts are changing a little bit [maybe 3-4 reads and/or writes a second] but nothing shows the huge counts that I think are going on based on the noise I hear from the drive. When it is in this frantic disk mode just about anything else that I might be trying to do comes to a standstill
View 8 Replies View RelatedSometimes when I click my start button it freezes the whole toolbar, this doesn't make sense as I have a reasonably powerful machine (check specs) and when I check task manager my cpu usage is at 2-4% and I have less then 20 processes running taking up 200,000k or less. I once had a virus on my computer but I followed the steps, removed it and formatted my hdd then reinstalled fresh windows xp pro and now this issue has come up. Just recently (after the problem appeared) I tried going to run regedt32 Hkey_Current_usercontrol paneldesktopMenuShowDelay and lowered that to 0 in a hope of reducing freezes but I haven't seen any difference.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing a Toshiba Satellite 1800 Laptop 1GHz Intel P3 - BIOS Ver 1.90 04/18/2002.
The past week or two it seems that the computer locks up, the Task Manager shows the CPU running at 100%. It allows some activity all be it slow & shutting down all programs (which are not locked up) does not stop the activity - including disconnecting the internet. Have run Norton scan, Spybot S&D and Adaware with nothing of significance found. Ran HiJackThis and found some startup stuff and stopped them from running but I don't know enough about the programs that are running to remove them.
Last time I booted I had to force a shutdown after waiting for 15 minutes. Next reboot took 22 minutes for the CPU to back off of 100%. I started Task Mgr very early into the boot, just before the icons started to appear and it showed 33 processes running. I watched as 14 more started up all while the CPU was steady at 100% usage. Then at 5 minutes after booting the processor dropped to 50% bounced around for a minute then went back to 100%. There was some activity through the modem (cable) but not very much. I unplugged the modem power. I shut down Skype, MSN Messenger and MS Defender and about a minute later the CPU dropped to 27%. Nothing of what I shut down appeared to alter anything.
I hope someone can see something...

To make it short and sweet, if I right-click on any folders or on the hard drive icons in My Computer explorer.exe freezes. I have a program called HDDLife Pro (trial version) that says my hard disks are at 53% and 85%. The program measures the current tempurature and how much life is left on your hard disks. There are no tale-tell signs of a failing disk either.

It seemed to be. I have noticed a small increase in overall speed of loading programs and apps, but it could be my wishful imagination.
