You can see one of my last reviews <a href="http://game.giveawayoftheday.com/all-saints-eve-puzzle/"><strong>HERE</strong></a>. Oh well, I may just as well copy it to here. Not all of it is appropriate. :)</p> <p><strong><u>Problems installing, activating and running today’s game</u></strong>:</p> <p><blockquote>If you have difficulty downloading or activating the game you can try again later or do one of the following – for example once downloaded when you click on the dual activation and set up file you may get the message “Failed to connect. Please try again later” Check to see if your internet explorer isn’t offline (thanks to MrSnoozles/Mike and GMMan for that fix). </p> <p>Fistly check to see if your computers specifications match or are better than those quoted. </p> <p>Mike suggests that you check to see if Internet Explorer is offline (even if you use Firefox). If it is then make sure that it’s online then try again. I’ve always tried re-booting my modem and/or router with some success, though Mike has said that doing that does nothing. Still, it’s worth a try if all else fails. </p> <p>If you are getting the black screen problem right click on the games executable and select properties then click on the compatibility mode and select the disable visual themes. This should fix the problem, if not try disabling the display scaling on higher dpi settings and disabling the desktop composition.</p> <p>Other fixes include changing your screen resolution, installing the latest direct X (remember that XP uses DX 9 or earlier only, Vista uses DX 10 or before and Win 7 DX11 or before). Also try updating your graphics drivers. The main two chip manufacturers are NVIDIA and ATI both of which offer driver downloads for free. Just go to the respective manufactures home page and you’ll find a link to the driver download page. To find out which graphic card or graphics chip your computer uses type in Dxdiag in the search field (Vista or Win 7) or the run command (XP); this opens up the DirectX diagnostics panel. click on the display tab and look to the left panel. You should easily see what graphics card or chip you are using. (This is required information when selecting the correct download from the developers site).</p> <p>If you are having problems unzipping the game giveaways zip file, for example getting a message saying the file is invalid try using a different file archiver such as 7-Zip <a href="http://7-zip.org/" rel="nofollow">http://7-zip.org/</a> , J-Zip <a href="http://www.jzip.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jzip.com/</a> , CAM UnZip <a href="http://www.camunzip.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.camunzip.com/</a> , Hamster Free Zip Archiver <a href="http://ziparchiver.hamstersoft.com/en/home" rel="nofollow">http://ziparchiver.hamstersoft.com/en/home</a> , GZip <a href="http://www.gzip.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gzip.org/</a> , B Zip2 <a href="http://bzip.org/" rel="nofollow">http://bzip.org/</a> , peazip <a href="http://www.peazip.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.peazip.org/</a> , ZipUnzip <a href="http://www.info-zip.org/UnZip.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.info-zip.org/UnZip.html</a> , FreeRAR Extract Frog <a href="http://free-rar-extract-frog.pwpw.de/" rel="nofollow">http://free-rar-extract-frog.pwpw.de/</a> , RAR File Open Knife <a href="http://www.rar-file-open-knife.com/rar_file_open_knife.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.rar-file-open-knife.com/rar_file_open_knife.php</a> , ALZip <a href="http://www.altools.com/ALTools/ALZip.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.altools.com/ALTools/ALZip.aspx</a> , The Extractor <a href="http://theextractor.org/" rel="nofollow">http://theextractor.org/</a> , RarZilla Free Unrar <a href="http://www.philipp-winterberg.com/software/rarzilla_free_unrar.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.philipp-winterberg.com/software/rarzilla_free_unrar.php</a> </p> <p>Okay, that should be enough. There are actually many more free versions available. also there are other commercial titles such as the well-known WinRAR, Stuffit, WinAce, NXPowerlite and Corel Winzip Pro, but IMO 7-Zip is probably one of the better freebies. I did purchase a copy of Stuffit when it was on sale a few years ago, but didn’t like the interface for some reason, so hardly ever use it.</p> <p>If you are posting late in the day I would also suggest posting in the main giveaway forums in the game discussion section. If you’ve installed the game but it won’t work for some reason, it should still be registered, so someone may be able to help at another time. Unfortunately if your problem is actually installing it then once the giveaway period is over there’s nothing that can be done until the game is given away again (though that isn’t guaranteed. It’s always worth checking out the free games sites as sometimes the games we get here are also available for free from them as well.</blockquote></p> <p>I hope this is of some help. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/11073#post-98562 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 05:27:15 +0000 papiaud 98562@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Graylox, I am happy to see that I am not the only one (sorry for Johon) to have got the problem.<br /> Johon, if you look at the answer Graylox gave me you can get Inpaint working : it is not the last version but it does the job, may be a little slower but you can save your job<br /> Graylox : so the problem remains : if you get &quot;failed to register&quot; <u>from GOTD</u> even if you are in time you miss the offer?<br /> regards </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/11073#post-98535 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 12:51:43 +0000 Johon 98535@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Graylox, thanks for the tips.

I just downloaded the Ay Recovery Lite and followed the README instructions. When I Clicked on REGISTER, a box popped up and said something like, you are registering Ay RecoveryLite! But nothing else happens at all. The Registration box sits on my screen as I filled it out and I never get anything else. What do I do?</p> <p>I downloaded Clone Terminator, and followed the directions. I got the GOTD page saying something like, &quot;You&#39;ve registered. Now what?&quot; and goes on to suggest putting the GOTD on facebook, etc. But when I ran the program, after it finds all the files, I get a message saying something like, &quot;Trial program doesn&#39;t delete the files.&quot; So I guess it didn&#39;t register correctly. That message is the only way I learned that. There was no other indication.</p> <p>Can you help me? I appreciate it.</p> <p>TIA, Nancie </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7903#post-81720 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 23:04:38 +0000 notblocklox 81720@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi, <strong>tamshap</strong>, I would advise you to check what&#39;s the GOTD download of today!<br /> There are 2 downloads :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7903#post-81719 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 22:56:52 +0000 tamshap 81719@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I&#39;m going out of town in a couple of days and I hope I&#39;m not gone when this is re-offered!
