yup, i know i installed it properly, it even says it is registered to givewayoftheday, but it also says i have the trial version, and it stopped working after 14 days. I sent an email to the co, and didn’t get an answer, how annoying, since this is the second time i tried to install it. I like it, but i don’t want to pay for it. i took it off. oh well.. lets do it without the trial next time

Installed fine on Vista Home Premium and activation was successful. HOWEVER … after 14 days it quit working because I would not pay for it! I really like this program (I have it installed on another computer) and hope GOTD will offer it again… but not the trial version.

i wasnt sure i would have much use for this program, but since i usually have sooo many icons on my desktop, i thought i’d give it a shot. i wouldnt call this a “cant live without it” program but its drfinately on the “dont wanna do without it” list. like several people here mine failed to register as anything but the trial version, even after getting the usual thank you for registering message….my icon clock is permanently at 5:53

it will be a welcome day when this giveaway makes its way around again

Could it be possible to run this program as a freebie again. Mine didn’t register the first time, and I love it. I put it in an ellipse x, so it circles my picture that I have as a background. Thanx

I downloaded and installed on 4 computers. All were registered and worked fine, but then 1 of the PC,s started giving me a message that it was the trial version and I would have to purchase a license ( same problem as post # 100). I sent an email to the comapny’s tech support address 4 days ago and have not received a response.

been using this since it was posted on the site. Now I’m getting a message that the trial version is expiring. Strange, since I’m sure it was registered (or activated) when I downloaded.

Hopefully it will be available again soon so that I can double check if I made a mistake or not.

I had installed this software on Windows Vista. It started hiding all the icons without my permission. But then I used to be able to restore the icons by exiting the software. I finally decided to uninstall the software. AFter the next reboot, guess what the icons are all gone again. Now I don’t even have the software running in the background and I have no way to recover the icons back. At least before I was able to exit the software and recover the icons, but now what do I do. What a piece of junk!!!

Unfortunately, I never was able to get this software to register. I followed the instructions exactly and even ran it in administrative mode (I’m running Vista), but no dice. All I got was a trial.

Hello Macs-PC, did you get this to activate on 64-bit? I did download the 64-bit version from their site and I ran the activator and I was still stuck with the trial version. I woke up this morning with 13 days to activate. I really liked this little program and was hoping to get this activated. Oh well, I guess the company didn’t want it to happen because they never got on here and offered a solution. You seemed so confident that your solution would work Macs-PC, but did you actually get it to work. Not everyone here is computer illiterate and we already tried going to the site and getting the 64-bit version. The problem is, this version won’t activate with the GAOTD activator.

#73 – Mike….

Thank you! I had this the first time it was offered here and loved it…mostly for its ability to save/restore desktop layout…But it never worked right on my Vixta 32 bit, and I’ve gotten really squirrelly about installing just any old thing that comes down the pike. Saw this today, wanted it….bad! But not after reading comments about Vista 64 bit version not working. At the last moment, I saw your post….Thanks to you and Bubby, I now have my pointless, useless, ridiculously fabulous Desktop Icon Toy again!!!!
