Worked for me. Entered Giveawayoftheday as the name then the reg key, both are in the readme.txt in the zip archive. The amount of times people have said what you have, did you actually look at the readme.txt?

Games JunkieI'm running windows xp sp2 media center on a Laptop and Desktop, having no problems!
My 2 Desktops would BSOD sometimes. Try a cleanup and try again! I mean get rid of the game first and try again! It might be your computer, does the game run at all? Windows loves fatal errors!
The game is worth the effort!

Make sure if you get to the opening screen(buy, enter code, etc) that you enter the name and the reg code first!
Also that you are getting the Giveaway whats next screen first and save the read me file!
Good luck, Suki
P.S. I have the most screwed and junked up computers I know of, lol!

Games GuruYou may need to clean out the temporary folders and also get rid of any registration information in the registry. To clean out the temp folders you can just right click on the internet explorer icon and select internet properties. The window tat is brought up enables you not only to clear your internet cache and history, but the temporary folders. If you don't want to lose your cookies ten follow the path below to delete all the files in the temp folder:
C:\Temp
The registry cleaning is a little more complex, but not hard. Though it’s always advisable to make a back up before you make any changes, just in case you do something wrong – personally I go into the registry editor virtually every day and delete or copy something, and even edit a value sometimes, and ‘touch wood’ have never had a problem yet {I rarely bother to do a back up now} I don’t know what method you use to back up your registry, my personal choice since February has been Eaz-Fix, though I will occasionally export each of the five hives to a registry file as well. The way you do it is a matter of preference. You can always use windows own restore point, but I personally think it’s a waste of space because if you have trouble accessing windows after a crash you can’t get to the restore command, whereas with Eaz-Fix, you get the opportunity at boot up. (Eaz-Fix was given away some months ago) Anyway, the following will tell you how to check for any registry entries for today’s game:
Go to the Start menu click on run and type in regedit, and then click on okay. This brings up the registry editor.
• Click on Edit (top toolbar)
• Scroll down to find and click
• Type in a key word for the game (I’d try both the name of the game and the games developer)
• Ensure that the cursor on the registry editor is highlighting ‘My Computer’
• Click on ‘Find Next’
• Delete the keys as and when they are found
• To progress to the next key click on F3
• Close the editorThat’s it. You should be able to reinstall the game as though it was for the first time. Make sure you copy the reg code and name so that when the window pops up where you are given the oppertunity to either play, pay or input a code you click on the correct button.

MemberI have never had a problem with any of these games before and although I appreciate your detailed steps on how to fix my problem I am not going to even try for fear of screwing up my computer. Oh well, maybe some other time for a game I actually liked to play.

MemberI am having the same problem as matagner43 - I registered it with the name and key, got the message that everything was ok, but it was still the unregistered version.
Entered the key again, and was told that it was expired.
I did try to clean out all Puzzle Hero entries from my registry and reinstall, but it did not help.
Same problem
