I tried reinstalling many times. I double clicked on "activate" every way possible. Activating this pgm has been a challenge that I am not up to. Besides disabling my firewall and anti-virus program I tried activating MP3 Recorder Studio with all programs disabled - all that can be disabled using "msconfig"</p> <p>I really want this program. Until I can figure out my problem I am afraid to even buy it. There is no guarantee that I would be able to activate the purchased edition. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2114#post-12961 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 03:40:39 +0000 goodgotd 12961@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>have you tried closing the program and running activate.exe again? sometimes that works- you may need to run it at admin level, too. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2114#post-12946 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 18:35:38 +0000 jakovlevic 12946@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I uninstalled antivirus, turned off firewall but I can not activate program. When I run activation.exe... there was message 'application activated'. I run Setup... after instalation completed, I clicked on icon on desktop and then appeared &lt;trial version...&gt; of program. I closed application and then run again activation.exe but there is no result. I can activate all other 'Giveaway of the day' programs.

If you're still trying to resolve it, let us know. It usually occurs on Vista because of Vista's security settings. I don't have Vista, but I know you have to run everything with administrator rights for the activation to work. That's true for XP also, but the methods are probably different. </p> <p>Try clicking some of the Tags on the right of this page. Glancing over some of the previous comments might help you with your problem. Or you could try searching the forums with your own keywords.</p> <p>If that doesn't work, post some more information about your computer setup, and the experiences you've had. Somebody might be able to help you. Remember you have to get it activated before the giveaway time runs out. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1910#post-11792 Sat, 17 Nov 2007 21:08:42 +0000 gaillittle 11792@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I downloaded Mahjongg Artifacts and clicked activate it said it was Activated but when i went to play it said 56 minutes left so what do i do next? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1742#post-10822 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:44:59 +0000 MusicalRabbi2k 10822@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>did anybody have the same problem as me of installing, but then Internet Explorer didn't work. Finally I tried to uninstall it and I basically coudn't uninstall the program. I had to delete all files manually and the only program that would let me do that was KillBox.

That's the obvious bit. </p> <p>I believe there are 3 "levels" of error messages programmers can aim at when a program crashes. (Going from least to most helpful)</p> <p>1. Tell the user (or explain) what went wrong.<br /> 2. Tell the user (or suggest) how to fix it.<br /> 3. Offer to fix (or resolve) the problem for the user.</p> <p>An error message that just says "It's broke" is just proof of a lazy or inexperienced programmer (and stating the bleeding obvious). </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1689#post-10548 Wed, 03 Oct 2007 11:06:33 +0000 Mike 10548@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Main executable is basically the name of the main program, exe, like when you get "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem..." .<br /> It also crashes for me on shoutcast streams just like BladedThoth described it in his post: <a href="http://www.bladedthoth.com/reviews/15mrs/web-stream-recorder-pro-v2-0-0-539/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bladedthoth.com/reviews/15mrs/web-stream-recorder-pro-v2-0-0-539/</a><br /> Too bad, it's the only use I had for it, I had flash, quictime and divx videos pretty much covered with a Firefox extension: <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/3006" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/3006</a></p> <p>On the bright side I still have the older version(1.6) and it works, but it's not automated like this one.</p> <p>If anyone wants something similar you can try Url Snooper, freeware. <a href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/urlsnooper/" rel="nofollow">http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/urlsnooper/</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1689#post-10540 Wed, 03 Oct 2007 00:32:13 +0000 BuBBy 10540@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Unfortunately, while the "Web Stream Recorder" programmers insist on providing such descriptive error messages - a "MAIN EXECUTABLE" error sounds like something only their programmers will be able to decipher.

I've lost count of the amount of times that I've had to re-type a message owing to a posting failure. It happens all the time on all sorts of forums and message-boards. So basically, if you don't fancy having to re-type something, be sure to save it first, just in case. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1490#post-9117 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 09:42:38 +0000 BuBBy 9117@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>If you are signed into the forums - it should carry your settings across (and fill in the text boxes) automatically.</p> <p>(It's a good idea to save your review post into notepad - as sometimes reviews get "eaten" and never appear - if a review hasn't appeared within 2 hours - I'd suspect either it has been "moderated" or the censor software has eaten it - or the comment moderators have gone out for pizza and forgotten about you.)</p> <p>If you continue to have problems - try the "Contact Us" form - down the bottom of the main page - to ask for assistance there.</p> <p>These forums are completely separate - and there is no overlap between the two "systems", so while I can sympathize, I cannot actually fix the problem. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1490#post-9114 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 05:47:03 +0000 terflip 9114@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Here lately every time I write a review it goes to a page that says word press "you need a valid E-Mail address".

From what I've read the activation program does not work well with proxy connections. (This should be fixed, but there's nothing I can do about it)</p> <p>With RoboTask, it's also possible that you left the program running while activating it; make sure that the icon doesn't show up in the system tray when you activate the program. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/124#post-516 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 23:55:44 +0000 Raven 516@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I look at your site daily and would only get things I would use. Todays product is something I would use.<br /> I am not an Illiterate on a computer. But I have tried every tip I read on the forums list and cannot get this product to download without the 30 day banner. I turned of all of my security and firewalls ,but for some reason I just can't get the download right.<br /> There have been some good instructions given, but they won't work. I will keep trying, but time will eventually run out, and if this won't download neither will other things.There are alot of others saying the same thing, and some people that get it to work are treating others as if they are idiots, which is unfair. There has to be some reason why some systems just won't connect to your website for activation.<br /> Like I said I turned off everything and I still could not connect to you for the activation.Maybe some of these smarter people could come up with that answer.<br /> I love your site, and I check it eveyday and tell my freinds. I have just never had luck, and I have tried all I can figure. </p>
