Have you tried re-booting these? Wen you turn the power off make sure you leave it for atlease 20 seconds to ensure any residual charge (usually stored in any capacitor on the modem and routers circuit boards) within the modem and router are dispersed.</p> <p>W.R. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6501#post-67441 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:03:04 +0000 Wanderer7 67441@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>This already happened to me 2 or 3 times:<br /> When trying to install a Giveaway I am getting following error:<br /> [quote]The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.<br /> I am still getting the &quot;Activation Successful&quot; message with the activation key.

That means, you can download the software on the given day and have to install and activate it on the same day. Then you can use it as long as your system lives, but you can not reinstall it. You can install it on that day on as many computers you have, but can not take it over to another system on another day.<br /> But don't be sad, just have a look into the Freeware-Library</p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/freeware/" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/freeware/</a> </p> <p>there you'll find a lot of giveaways for every day. Or - and you are on the best way to it - have a look-around in the forums. Here you find a overwhelming amount of FREEE games. This place is it's own hidden objects game, you never know in which thread you'll find a link to a game.<br /> Most likely you will find one or two or even 500 games under this link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/forum/17">Games Discussion</a></p> <p>Have fun and come back<br /> graylox </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4097#post-43917 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 04:12:02 +0000 Txnnok 43917@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>You can try changing the compatibility to xp2 in properties.

When I click on set up exe. it tries to validate the game online and says free download has expired.<br /> What am I doing wrong? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2014#post-26146 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:55:34 +0000 BuBBy 26146@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>All the giveaways I have them charged to my account.

But even after another 3 hours sleep - I still have no idea why only you have this exact problem (twice). If I was at your PC I would probably try to start Frigate while watching it with Sysinternals Process Monitor. Sometimes that can help determine where/why a program is choking. (If I could reproduce the problem on my PC - I could probably narrow down what was wrong in minutes).</p> <p>One idea I have (a benefit of sleep) what happens if you close all running programs - including all the programs you are able to close running from the system tray. (Then double check Task Manager to make sure all your programs have closed) - and then try to start up Frigate. Perhaps a program you use (and have running) isn't too keen on sharing the desktop with Frigate.</p> <p>Edit: Obviously not 100% awake yet - now I notice BillW50's post above. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/733/page/2#post-15042 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 19:49:21 +0000 BillW50 15042@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Have you shutdown all of your startup programs living in your system tray, JEG88? As I have found problems like this before. For example, if Sticky Password starts before AltDesk (both were GAOTD programs), AltDesk will not launch or run. Run AltDesk first, and they both run fine. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/733/page/2#post-15041 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 19:42:29 +0000 JEG88 15041@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>awhh,...I'm crushed.</p> <p>Well, guess I was wrong;......--Looks like you've run out<br /> of enthusiasm.

It also focuses everyones attention on one or two programs rather than trying to help people with 40 or 50 different programs on a single day (2 is usually more than enough).</p> <p>Also visiting the site regularly is much more important when there is some urgency on not "missing out", instead of just putting it off until the weekend and "catching up".</p> <p>But I understand fully - there have been several giveaways in the past I have missed because I was away from home, or busy - but the 24 hour limit applies to everyone equally. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2014#post-12336 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 01:15:15 +0000 triphammer 12336@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Yea.. you have to install it within the time it's being given away.
