Boluxsoftware, You need to temporarily disable your anti-virus for this one to install. I had the same thing happen first time I tried to install it.

Boluxsoftware, If that doesn't work try downloading the program from the gimespace website and run it as admin.

Carl, Open the readme file and follow step by step what is written there and you will understand how to use this program.

TK, Ahem.

J.Barry, on seeing the notification I was ready to be proven wrong about THIS progrm.... LOL Of course a real theramin can be played musically for certain parts like a non-verbal soprano like part because of the difficult but usable two hand 3 dimensional interfaces, you must admit that even that acomplished theramin player would have sounded fairly lame without all the conventional instruments rounding out the performance. But this program is a crude emulator with the screen interface being a 2D interface with a single point for both pitch and amplitude. There is a keyboard like interface but again it's not properly musical especially when the starting sample is a piano chord and it is then digitally transposed as a series of semi-tone seperated notes which will produce of key chords it might be possible to play if it's polyphonic multi-touch screen and the starting samples are single note samples then one could create proper chords and play in a musical key or outside the key deliberatly and not because of poor design. It cannot do mutli-touch polyphony using just a multi-touch synaptics touchpad. Maybee someone with a multi-touch capable touch screen can tell us if it can play two or more notes from two or more points of contact with the screen over the graph or key like interfaces?

TK, You still run Vista? :D

shegeek72, yup on my laptop that operates as media and other server as well as my prefered operating system. It's regularly patched with the latest security patches and has 4TB of storage built in. I use my windows 10 laptop as a thin client and RDP to my Vista Home Premium machine for almost all giveaway activities. The video chip is hanging off the PCB so cannot sensibly be uprated plus it was one of those HP pavilion laptops that run hot so would lnot be advisable to try and install later versions of windows as it would cause too many license problems with the thousands of programs on it :-)

Ian, neither do we know why but we lack ANY information about your system since you've told us nothing with which we could formulate any reasons... sorry.

Ian, That sounds like some kind of security program is deleting your downloads.

TK, Well...ooops ( blame the migraine...I do). Windows 10, Zone alarm, AVG antivirus. I tried disabling the firewall and the anivirus...to no avail...same damn thing happened, Download proceeded fine...right up until it was finished, then before I could get the mouse pointer over to the Zip file icon...it vanished !

To Ian - try a different browser, or [ Ctrl ][ J ] in Chrome to see ALL downloads and then select [ Keep Anyway ] for the downloads that Chrome has "removed" due to the download's lack of security information or other reason.
.

Ian, Try a browser other than Chrome. Chrome likes to "protect" it's users from themselves by deleting downloads it's never seen before.

Ian, Usually if it's a security program sanitising a download it usually brags about it verbousely proving it is doing something useful! If I were you I'd try using some system monitoring programs to see if one can see what process initiated the delete event... something like sysinternals PROCMON with no filters active which will churn out reams of data as you track the download and disapearance of the zip file. I'd also install search Everything utility to monitor the latest files being created/modified to watch everything going on.
I'd suggest try renaming the zip to something else like .txt using save as interface and put it on an external thumb drive and see if it vanishes from there too... You can use the installer from the vendors HOME edition trial installer and see if that exe installer vanishes too... obviously you'll still lack the license key but I'm sure the vendor can send you that if you explain you are unable to access the giveaway bundle zip. You could try different browsers too. It is entirely possible there could be malware or just a nasty interaction between overlapping 3rd party security programs. Hope the migraine clears up as that will make any debuging unwanted computer behaviour nigh on impossible.

Ian, i'm not a computer high wiz but that's a new, strange problem for me- have you done a text search for the file name afterwards?

Ian,

most likely it's your anti-virus setting

Chrome does that to me. It runs scans on its own and deletes some GAOTD downloads.

Having usual anti-virus already, I disabled this from Chrome's security settings, and that fixed the issue.

Stephen Moratti, it worked fine for me.

Did you try the old "run as administrator" trick?

Stephen Moratti, If you are still unable to unlock then email GiMeSpace your serialnumber that shows in the regsitration dialog to get a manual unlock.

Noah Body, yes tried that. Program runs but does not install any folders

GiMeSpace, no folders or program were installed so nothing to unlock. Any one else had this problem?

Stephen Moratti, only other ideas are that it may be a corrupt download (download again) or perhaps try it on a different computer if you have access to one, just to see if it's the software or the hardware.

Good luck!

Stephen Moratti, Sorry to hear that it is not working for you. Never heard of such a problem before. Did you try downloading the program from the gimespace website instead?

Stephen Moratti, I tested the trial from the maker and noted it worked.

Stephen Moratti, I'm having the same problem. Setup claims to have installed but it didn't. I disabled my antivirus (Avast). I tried run as admin. No luck. So I emailed them with my serial number and am waiting for a reply.

Laura Nass, Check your Recent Files - the folder with the program will be there.
