We don&#39;t have a &quot;standard user&quot;, every computer system is different, and every user has different skills and a different approach to maintain his PC. For example: I would never allow any &quot;cleaner&quot; to auto-clean my system.<br /> Hotdoge3 just wanted to help.

I have FULL control over my system, as I am the sole administrator. I also gave myself FULL admin rights long before this software was ever given away. Sorry, but no good.

It has not been upgraded or updated, or even opened for that matter (I opened it and found this problem, but before that I had only used it a few times <u>after the giveaway was over</u>, to make the menu for my site), and the program does not start with windows or have any scheduled updater. It has not been uninstalled or reinstalled, nor are any files missing. It simply is deactivated. It even still has the registration key from the giveaway when I try to open it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9253#post-88253 Thu, 03 Feb 2011 04:46:07 +0000 hotdoge3 88253@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9256" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9256</a></p> <p>check Premissios in the Registry Editor </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9253#post-88202 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 04:50:54 +0000 Soulflare3 88202@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Same here...

What’s wrong? According to our terms and conditions the software gained from GOTD can not be updated or upgraded to newer version. Some programs still check for updates – once you agree to update you lose the registered version. Sometimes using a Registry Cleaner can erase program registration details.</a></p> <p>Hi Soulflare3, sorry to hear about your problems. Other users didn&#39;t report about this issue yet, so I don&#39;t know if this is intentional by the developer (shouldn&#39;t be so!) or if there happened something on your system.<br /> Some programmes run updates without asking the user.<br /> If you don&#39;t want to buy that software, you could write to the developer, some of them are very cooperative, though the terms exclude any support.<br /> Good luck!</p> <p>graylox</p> <p>PS:</p> <p>I have some other Sothink programmes from GOTD.<br /> With some of them popped that registration window up. I checked &quot;cancel&quot; and the programme started fine. All of them asked for an update - you have to deny that and uncheck it under options.<br /> So, if you have another Sothink tool - don&#39;t try to register it again. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9253#post-88083 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 03:10:34 +0000 Soulflare3 88083@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi, I am posting about a software that was given away back in November (<a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/sothink-flash-menu-1-0/">Sothink Flash Menu</a>). It worked great and was a really good program. I was trying to open the program today and when it opened, it showed a registration screen and it had Giveawayoftheday as the name and it also had the license key. I hit enter to submit the code, and it said that it had expired. If I close that window, the program loads, but it is the trial version, limited to 3 links only.</p> <p>As proof that I do have it and have used it, you can visit my site <a href="http://sf3soft.x10.mx">here</a>. The top menu was made in that program back in November. Why now all of the sudden am I not allowed to access the program? (notice that there are MORE than 3 links that work, indicating it was not the trial)</p> <p>I have NOT updated it, uninstalled it, or reinstalled it. I have not reinstalled my computer or anything like that either. I do not understand - it simply does not work fully any more. Anyone else having this problem? (I can also post screenshots if necessary - not sure if anything can really be done about it, but I am really disappointed right now...) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7221#post-74448 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 01:19:12 +0000 aRenegade 74448@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I&#39;m happy to report the mystery of the InPaint reversion has been solved! It was WR who unknowning provided a clue when he wrote:</p> <p>&quot;v2.3 is the latest version which was given away not long ago. I still have v2.0 as well.&quot;</p> <p>The InPaint &#39;About&#39; was showing my version as being v2.3 however, when I finally called upon the combat tested Revo to rid me of this pain in my you know where, Revo listed it as v2.0. So somewhere along the line when I installed the program I must have neglected to turn off its auto update. At least I hope it had that user preference in its settings because the repercussions would be much more serious if the program updated itself. I&#39;m confident all would agree, that would be a scary thought. So anyway I guess now the only person who is not going to be happy with this news will be my cardiologist! My Thanks To All...</p> <p>Incidentally, if not for Revo, InPaint would have left 66 orphans in the Windows registry (ouch).</p> <p>- Renegade - </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7221#post-74415 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 22:19:34 +0000 aRenegade 74415@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi GMMan,</p> <p>A mod might have deleted your message here, but sending me a PM would be as they say, &quot;a horse of a different colour.&quot; ;) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7221#post-74405 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 21:24:23 +0000 GMMan, A+, Game Modder 74405@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I&#39;d love to tell you how to check, but a mod deleted my message. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7221#post-74365 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 09:10:47 +0000 goodgotd 74365@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>huh. still good here. did you do any &#39;cleanup&#39; or dupe removal? although I don&#39;t see much in the way of files to have been oops&#39;d. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7221#post-74338 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:44:07 +0000 aRenegade 74338@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I tried all the suggestion except for visiting the InPaint site and downloading a &quot;trial&quot; copy.
