when demo programmes expire?????

when a demo prog expires what is it that it places on your pc that stops you from erasing it and re installing? is it in the registry? and whats more how easy is it to find and remove?

 

What's the program, sport?

Some, like Mcafee and Norton have dozens of registry references and need special tools to erase.

Others you can just work through the reegistry with regedit and delete all references to the program and any from the author that refer to that program. obviously the authors may have more than one program so you have to be more careful here.

If you find the demo program useful and want to re-install it, after the initial trial has expired, most MG members here, would suggest you buy it. Bazza

Maybe, if you told us what it was, someone here could recommend a free alternative.

 

Yep, that's what I should have added. Bazza

My reply in this thread was no more inappropriate than the original post. If you didn't like the subject matter of this thread, you could have closed it.

Would you please delete my membership.

Thanks.

 

Maybe the OP just wanted rid of all the crap that comes with these demos.

 

ok ok, closed thread already, no more to say! move on, there are people with broken computers we could all be helping! get to it soldiers!................... :major i-CONICA :major

 

Are you closing it then?
Wow, you must be the new mod I heard about? rolleyes

 

no pal, the mod, and co-owner major attitude removed most of the thread, and then the posters all realised that we shouldnt really discuss dodgy doings like the method to get longer out of trialware, if you want to sit there and post stuff like that instead of helping and having your opinion heard by people and fellow geeks, then leave the forum, because that helps noone! :major i-CONICA :major

 

Oh for petes sake! Move on alreadyrolleyes ...Thread closed.
