I've also been back into the programme and checked the Registration details, which tell me "this has been registered" (Phew).</p> <p>It actually seemed a nice easy programme to use and, following the advice given earlier, have saved the backup as a self extracting exe and saved it on a separate drive. Hope I've covered my back nicely. All that remains is to hope I never have to use it!!</p> <p>Thanks once more for the advice - much appreciated. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3969#post-42792 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 21:23:08 +0000 BuBBy 42792@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <blockquote><p>(spent 5 hours yesterday browsing here) </p></blockquote> <p>Sorry about that... the admins hid the 'exit' button. ;) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3969#post-42786 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:24:50 +0000 Lyndy24 42786@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for your help.

And, we can only install Driver Magician until the time is up, right?</p> <p>If that is true, how will we be able to re-install the latest/correct drivers on the new OS install if we cannot re-install Driver Magician? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3969#post-42764 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:42:38 +0000 Suze 42764@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi Lyndy24, and welcome to the Forums!</p> <p>To answer your first question in a little more detail: as long as you download AND install the software by the end of the giveaway period, you can use it (or not) for as long as it's installed on your computer.</p> <p>Just be careful and do NOT check for updates, or do not let the software automatically check for updates - updating a giveaway more often than not will turn your copy into a trial version, or make it inoperable. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3969#post-42751 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:06:03 +0000 goodgotd 42751@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>until something mucks up the install, or the first update in most cases.</p> <p>pm a moderator- like BuBBy up there for password help.</p> <p>hello folks, got the package- seen the pix? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3969#post-42747 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 09:41:47 +0000 Lyndy24 42747@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>As I'm new to the forum can someone help me here, please. How long do time limited offers run for? For instance, if I download Driver Magician today (and activate it, of course), but don't actually use it yet, how long will I have before I can no longer use it?</p> <p>Whilst I'm here, can anyone advise whereabouts on the site I can go to change my password (if that is possible) to one that I can remember. (sorry if this bit shouldn't be on here) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3969#post-42745 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 08:09:34 +0000 hamstergirl 42745@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hey Bubby!
