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/630#post-3229 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 18:27:43 +0000 Wolven 3229@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the link and info., Lee.</p> <p>Grrrrr...More reading! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/630#post-3224 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 17:36:01 +0000 Lee 3224@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Professional.</p> <p>The sciprt has the clue.</p> <p>I get your point, forgot there was a home edition, been that long since XP was released.</p> <p>So I guess changing professional to home should be correct for home users.</p> <p>Reason I decided to edit it sometime ago as my downloaded videos would cause a crash, so turned off DEP and they never crashed again, it was explorer crash not BSOD. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/630#post-3221 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 16:46:52 +0000 Wolven 3221@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>That will keep you out of DOS</p> <p>Lee - XP Home or Pro in the instruction?</p> <p>penroze - I was referring to the folder your game installed to.

I couldn't find my other post either. I asked for help in the comments section too. Do you mean the game folder in program files or the unzipped folder that I first used to install the game? Do you mean delete the game files from the program files game folder, or run the uninstall that is sometimes in the program folder or use the windows add/remove program? I'm sorry to be such an idiot. I thought if I uninstall the game I lose it, if it isn't on the same day?</p> <p>With your help I messed around with the game and came up with following fix I've had to use each time I play game. But at least I get to play Robin games. They're great!!! Lots of fun!</p> <p>I did the following: I found out how to work around my problem. I go<br /> to Run, type in cmd, press enter. This opens a DOS<br /> window and I navigate to the KeyWords folder and the<br /> game works.</p> <p>Then I found another way to run the program:<br /> I right clicked on the desktop icon, go to properties,<br /> then on the Shortcut tab click on Find Target, right<br /> click on the exe file click run as..., uncheck protect<br /> my computer and data from unauthorized activity, click<br /> Okay and then the game plays from the desktop icon<br /> again.</p> <p>I don't understand why it works. Is my windows corrupt? One day I got some windows notice about something called DEP that protects programs from hackers. Is that the problem. Thanks for help Wolven! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/630#post-3127 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 16:57:42 +0000 Wolven 3127@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>What are you asking me for? I had trouble finding this post again...LOL!</p> <p>Okay,..go back to your Startup folder and check the properties of KeyWords.exe to ensure it is still pointing to the correct file location. If there is an error, make the changes and save them, then run the game.</p> <p>If that was not the problem, the simple solution is to go to your installation (Game) folder, uninstall Keywords from there, reboot, then reinstall the game without going through the activation process.<br /> Remember: Don't re-activate or you will be stuck with a trial version.</p> <p>That should fix the problem for you.</p> <p>Good luck. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/630#post-3090 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 20:50:20 +0000 penroze 3090@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>No, I didn't move it. The .exe file is still under programs/keyword/....exe</p> <p>I tried running it fron the desktop icon, the startup programs button and from within the game folder. It still doesn't run. I get the same error, every time. Unfortunately, reinstalling it isn't an option or is it. Since it was activated during the day it was free? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/630#post-3076 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:31:34 +0000 Wolven 3076@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Have you, or someone else moved the folder / file location on disk, or renamed the game since you last played it? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/630#post-3059 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 03:01:33 +0000 penroze 3059@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I downloaded and activated KeyWord on the day it was offered free. I played it for quite some time. The next day it wouldn't load or play. I get a popup window that says</p> <p>FATAL ERROR: Invalid Command Line Param: Files\Keywords\Keywords.exe</p> <p>Can anyone tell me why the game worked/activated initially but won’t work now? I liked it very much. I haven't had any problems with any other games so far. </p>
