Hi Guys,

I have a XP Pro as my o/s. Last month i downloaded few of Adobe
tryouts like Photoshop, Premier pro & illustrator and Macromedia
trialwares like Studio 8, Flash & dreamweaver 8. I downloaded these
products to work on my web skills before i plan to buy these products.
But after a week or so, i started getting registry errors and system
slowing down etc. Then the system crashed, luckily with the XP restore
point i was able to recover things.

But, after that i tried to install these products. After installing
when i tried to work with the trial it states that my trial has
expired and i need to buy the product!! Can you guys please tell me
how can i set right the registry without reinstalling the o/s again as
i have alot of data and be in a position to install these trailwares
again and use them.

I need to know how to set right the registry details for making the
above happen, so please ley me know.

Regards,

Arun.

Hi!!

Try the following:
Uninstall all the trials.

Clean the registry with RegSeeker:
Download and install it, then run it and use the "Clean the Registry"
option at the left frame. Check if there are references to the trials
in the list of registry entries to be removed.
http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm

If RegSeeker fails to clean the registry try with RegCleaner (this
tool works manually but can do a better job in this situation, so it
is a good idea to start withthis option and use as a second chance
RegSeeker):
Install and run this program and them at the Software tab search for
references to the trials (at both columns Author and Software), select
all the references found and then use the remove selected items
button.
http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-download/programs/regcleaner.exe

With RegCleaner you will be able to get rid of those old and obsolete
registry entries created by the trials, for help on using this program
see:
http://learnat.oldnewbie.net/vwlt/ss/RegCleaner_viewlet.html

Note: If the viewlet is too wide, you can use these Keyboard
shortcuts: PAUSE to stop it running on its own, the RIGHT ARROW to
move forward frame by frame, and ALT F4 to close the viewlet window.


After cleaning the registry reboot your computer.

Hope this helps you. Let me know how this advices works.

Looking forward to your response.

Hi Livioflores,

Thanks for your explanation. But registry cleaners really don't help.
I have tried Regseeker, Regcleaner & Ccleaner. It still doesn't allow,
please let me know if you have any other more stronger option.

Arun

Macromedia have some files in WINDOWS dir but you aren`t allowed to
delete this file and is like you use a crack which is more easy. then
buy it.. if you like. If you want to delete this files, is more easy
to use a crack. I don`t know now exactly these files. In previous
version was some files from vbox.

Sorry, but every thing what you want to do now to restore the trial
it`s illegal, like a crack.

doesn't allow to work on it.

Hi Andymx,

Thanks for your comments. I am just trying to work at home, i don't
want to use an cracks, but would like to use the trail for a month and
then work on buying the software. Please let me know if you have any
other better option.

Thanks,
Arun

At the time of installation, Macromedia software add some data to the
boot record of the computer. This can only be removed if you reformat
your hard-disk.

I guess Adobe does the same thing.
