I get it installed and activated then I try to click play in the game and it goes to the Help mate screen and won't let me click on continue or go back to the main menu or anything. I have to control - alt - delete to end task the game. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it (no restart in between) but that doesn't help. I have Vista. Any ideas?

I click on the 'Register Game' button and it says 'Thank you for registration'. It then offers a 'Play Game' button but clicking this to start the game then returns me to the initial screen with the 60 minutes of gameplay left. The key does not unlock the product for me, and I have downloaded the .zip file a number of times. Have you tried playing the game? Does it open with a window saying that there are only 60 minutes of gameplay left left or is your version fully registered and unlimited? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1914#post-11878 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 22:00:07 +0000 Lee 11878@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Well I downloaded with no problems.</p> <p>I even activated it without a problem and I have seen it writes the key to the registry also. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1914#post-11877 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:46:01 +0000 cbrown 11877@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I downloaded late last night - actually, very early this morning - and had the problem with monsterhouse.zip, and then tried again just now - getting mh.zip - and still have the same activation problem. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1914#post-11866 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 19:31:24 +0000 solidad81 11866@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Code won't activate here either!

A friend sent me the zip that she had downloaded earlier this morning but I can't activate. She tells me that hers is in demo mode as well. I am guessing that there is a problem here and that the game will be re offered sometime soon again. Even with the occasional problems here I still have to say that both of the giveaway sites are still in top 3 of best sites on the INTERNET.
