Please if anyone can help me, i WOULD be extremely grateful.

I know it is naughty but i don't have much money so i can't afford to buy the FULL copy of the software. I have cleared it out of the registry and deleted the setup file and re-downloaded it.

Can anyone tell me why I am unable to re-install it and use it when the trial has expired. How can I get the software to not recognise that I have already used the software once?

Thank you in advance.

ChrisWhen you uninstalled the software, did you delete the product's folder in the C: drive?

[glb]Flame[/glb]yes, i deleted everything.

I think there may be other stuff in the registry, but i am not sure where or what it is called.

any ideas?

ChrisThe name depends.... What software is this?

[glb]Flame[/glb]XAimerMrmayer01.....You say , and I quote ......"I have cleared it out of the registry and deleted the setup file and re-downloaded it. "
Tell US exactly how you removed it from the registry ?
When you downloaded it .....did you use a D/L manager because there may still be bits of info in there .
Did it install in C drive .....programs folder ? ( does that folder still exist ?
When you removed it , did you use the ADD/REMOVE programs feature ?
The program you are trying to re-install is a aiming app isnt it ? Could PART of it be in the game you were using it with ?

Let us know

Hi,

Tell us exactly how you removed it from the registry ?

I opened the registry, clicked edit and searched for it using the word XAimer. It could have other names in the registry, but i have no idea where to find them.

When you downloaded it .....did you use a D/L manager because there may still be bits of info in there .

No, i just clicked D/L from the site and put it in my D/L Folder.

Did it install in C drive .....programs folder ? ( does that folder still exist ?

I did install it on C: and no the folder is no longer there.

When you removed it , did you use the ADD/REMOVE programs feature ?

Yes

The program you are trying to re-install is a aiming app isnt it ? Could part of it be in the game you were using it with ?

I was using it on yahoo, to play pool. So the answer is, i don't think so, but i don't know for sure.

Thanks for you help

ChrisSome registry key is preventing you to reinstall a working version of the trail ware, in all fairness it is a safeguard to protect company assets.

If you have not already done so, please take a backup of you registry before you work on the reg hive, and if you have done this prior to the 1st install of your shareware, you could have replace it with the backup to over write anything the shareware prog have enter in. Thank you for your assistance.

I don't have a back-up of my registry. How do i back my registry up?

Any ideas where i can find out what the item is that is in my registry?

ChrisTo backup registry
Click on run and type "regedit" in the reg menu click on file and export, type in "reg" and SAVE it to a location.

Check the shareware key, in registry menu, click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE. and check HKEY_CURRENT_USER, software look for the name of the shareware and delete that key, but be careful you don't mess up others and make sure you take a backup as describe above before you do anything.Almost forgot,
To restore the registry, you double click on the reg you have saved, it will do it automatically, please make absolutely certain you want to do it.
