Anything else is likely going to take some work on your part. </p> <p>The 1st place to look, the 1st thing to do whenever you get a somewhat cryptic error message like that is Google/Bing -- in this case there are lots of results, with the couple hits/links that I clicked/read talking about one or more required files having restricted permissions. You can also check Windows error reporting, which might give you additional info, &amp;/or something else to use with Google/Bing. To check error reports in XP head to Control Panel -&gt; Administrative Tools -&gt; Event Viewer. While you&#39;re at Control Panel you can also check DEP settings by starting System Properties, clicking the Advanced tab, clicking Performance Options, then going to the tab Data Execution Prevention.</p> <p>Now if the problem is caused by one or more required files having restricted permissions, the obvious question is which one(s)... To find out what files an app uses you can use a free tool called Process Explorer -- you can download it from microsoft.com [Google/Bing on either Process Explorer or SysInternals, which is the part of Microsoft&#39;s site where you&#39;ll find it &amp; other useful tools]. To use Process Explorer you&#39;d start it, then go to the View menu, select [put a check next to] Show Lower Pane, then back to the View menu, set Lower Pane View to DLLs. Now start Zoner &amp; with the error message still displayed [you don&#39;t want to close the app], select Zoner in the top 1/2 of Process Explorer&#39;s window [zps.exe], &amp; read the files it uses in the bottom 1/2. Note that any files physically located in the Zoner program folder are probably not *it*, are probably not what you&#39;re looking for. Note also that since Zoner won&#39;t run completely, you *may* wind up needing to install Zoner to another PC/laptop or VM where it will run to check what files are used. Once you know what files are used you can check their permissions, versions etc. -- Google/Bing as necessary for more info on that, though the hits I got searching on your error message provided some info on how to deal with it.</p> <p>Another Sysinternals tool, Process Monitor, would probably let you track it down further, but it&#39;s a PITA to use... what it does is list what seems like everything that&#39;s happening with Windows, so it&#39;ll show the step where the error occurs, but you&#39;ll have to wade through a LOT of info to find it. Check the Sysinternals portion of Microsoft&#39;s site where you&#39;ll find it for more directions on how to use Process Monitor, tips/tricks etc. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/11195#post-99181 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:54:11 +0000 papypc 99181@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>have the same problem with this version than with V13 :</p> <p>&quot;The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022) - click OK to terminate the application&quot;.</p> <p>Any idea ?</p> <p>OS : Win XP Pro SP3 (up to date) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/11078#post-98540 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:15:52 +0000 ingemar 98540@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Broken links to FREEWARE page 2 (etc.):</p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/tags/freeware/page/2" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/tags/freeware/page/2</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/tags/freeware/page/3" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/tags/freeware/page/3</a></p> <p>etc. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10615#post-96268 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 00:45:47 +0000 Terri218 96268@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I finally finished after having abandoned my first game because I didn&#39;t save my power-ups and was completely stuck. I had just under 300,000 points and about 4 power-ups left. Great game. On to Journey 2 tomorrow. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10615#post-96225 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 22:03:32 +0000 Littlemaggit 96225@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Just finished Journey 1 with 241,375 points but hardly any power-ups of any sort left! That last level of Carthage really is horrid - I was moving the pieces left and right on the top of the blocked columns and thought I was never going to get them free. It&#39;s a very good game of logic, though, and I&#39;m sure it must be excellent exercise for the brain cells (at least, that&#39;s what I&#39;m trying to persuade myself). I don&#39;t usually play Match-3 games as the ones I&#39;ve tried have seemed to be full of rather unnecessary complications, but I&#39;ve found this one to be reasonably uncomplicated but the sort of thing that makes you have to think quite a lot of moves ahead. </p> <p>Very good game indeed - many thanks to whoever came up with it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10615#post-96224 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 19:42:12 +0000 Dragonlair 96224@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I got through the entire Call of Atlantis with 9 lives left along with 8 bombs, 10 lightning bolts, 9 hour glasses but no swap bonuses! I used the last 2 to get past the last level. I had 240,165 points. That last level is a monster - 5 blocks across the bottom with only one open spot on each side. Of course, all the pieces you need to catch are across those 5 blocked columns.</p> <p>I started a new game rather than go around for &quot;journey 2&quot;. I play the game to relax and it just keeps getting harder. I&#39;d rather take a breather and see if I can beat that 240,000+ the second time around. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10615#post-96220 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:48:00 +0000 Terri218 96220@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I haven&#39;t gotten that far in this game but I&#39;m so upset today because on Around the World in 80 Days I had gotten to 11 million and had 30 lives going into Level 81. I couldn&#39;t get past it and I&#39;m now back to 0. I even tried to do a System Restore back to yesterday but it saved the game data at the 0 point. I remember someone once mentioning how to adjust the time you have but I can&#39;t remember how to do it. Oh well thanks for letting me vent. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10615#post-96202 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 22:49:26 +0000 Littlemaggit 96202@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I&#39;ve been playing this on and off since the weekend, and it saves for me in the middle of a country section (e.g. Egypt Level 3). I can&#39;t get through the whole of Carthage yet, so does anyone know what happens if you lose all your lives &#39;cos I&#39;ve got a nasty feeling that this may happen, LOL... </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10615#post-96201 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 22:27:15 +0000 chazzo125 96201@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>You have to complete an entire country section before progress is saved for later resumption. </p> <p>Try cleaning the laptop touchpad with a non-lotion wet-wipe, wiping carefully after with soft tissue to remove grease which builds up. It should make your touchpad more responsive and less jumpy if cleaned carefully regularly! :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10615#post-96174 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 12:13:31 +0000 JoeSkeptic 96174@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Had to stop midway level 8 Egypt and come back to resume later only to find that time had expired and have to start over entire Egypt section. Saving at any moment means saving time left not keep clock ticking. This is second Playrix game that starts well then becomes annoying as players advance not taking into account that touchpads in laptops are not optimally designed and cursors tend to jump all over the place sometimes which causes players to lose time trying to relocate the cursor back where it can have an effect. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10606#post-96112 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 16:04:50 +0000 Terri218 96112@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I&#39;m really enjoying this one. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10606#post-96111 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 14:59:15 +0000 mikiem2 96111@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>In case it helps, configuration settings/data is stored in 2 files: &quot;settings.ini&quot; in the game&#39;s program folder [\Playrix Entertainment\Call of Atlantis\] &amp; &quot;GameInfo.xml&quot; [again \Playrix Entertainment\Call of Atlantis\] under All Users\ Application Data\ [XP] or ProgramData [win7]... both are editable in Notepad.

Right-click the icon -&gt; context menu -&gt; Traffic Window for settings like On Top &amp; Opacity &amp; Hide -- drag the window to place it where you want. There are 3 components: a Service that&#39;s set to Automatic [Windows&#39; Administrative Tools -&gt; Services], the program window you get via the Start Menu shortcut, &amp; the NetBalance Tray [also in the Start Menu]. The tray icon context menu has one option to Close, which just stops the tray portion, &amp; another option to stop the service &amp; close -- otherwise you have to stop the service through the Services window or using something like Task Mgr. if you want to completely stop NetBalancer. Note that the service has to be running for the tray app to work, the tray app won&#39;t start the service automatically, &amp; using the tray icon context menu to start the service may/may not work. Note that if you want to get rid of NetBalancer entirely restoring a backup, or in win7 a restore point is probably your best bet to put things back -- there are a fair amount of .NET changes made during install, plus changes to Windows, &amp; it&#39;s hard [if possible] to fully undo that sort of thing otherwise. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10337#post-94487 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 10:59:02 +0000 MAEKBT 94487@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>How do I turn off the icon tray?

In fact, I began posting my problem after 9 pm eastern (5 hours before the end of the deal) and emailed the developeed at 9:43. I am a 71 year old retired lady with a home business in upstate New York, not running any scam. This software looks good, but given my income, I can&#39;t experiment with and discard $$ software as I once did. The developer offered me the software half-price $25 with a year of free updates, but I declined. This is a promotion he runs regularly, and I believe my problem resulted from a glitch in his activation process. So I believe that he is the one who lost a potential very loyal customer - I use software I like for years. I am philosophical about GOTD offers. Most are not useful for me. When one comes along that I am enthusiastic about, but has registration/activation problems, and I miss out because of it, I come closer to unsubscribing. My loss, I realize. Maybe GOTD should try to keep its relationship with its subscribers by having a solution for problems that go beyond the deadline. I know for sure that scammers can solve coding problems to steal software licenses. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10280#post-94101 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 19:00:00 +0000 Inas 94101@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Sorry you had problems, brayesq - hopefully, next time, it will be much better.<br /> Mikiem2, you make a good point- developers cannot distinguish between honest &amp; dishonest people. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10280#post-94097 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 18:55:21 +0000 mikiem2 94097@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Purely FWIW, I think the plain, simple answer is that not everyone is as honest as you are. :-)</p> <p>One of those slippery slope sort of things, how do you determine who&#39;s had a legit problem &amp; who is simply making something up because they either missed deadline or hope they&#39;ll con someone into giving them a free key they might distribute? The devs who provide the software for GOTD have probably heard everything, &amp; like anyone who sells stuff, works retail etc., have come to have a rather cynical view of such claims.

Using regedit <em>[Google/Bing for info if/as needed]</em> see if the license was actually entered at HKCU\Software\CSoftLab\C-OrganizerPro?
