Alex,

Just a thought: Doesn't seem likely, but . . .

Perhaps there was a hidden file installed with the demo that is getting
in the way and preventing your running the demo again even after a
reinstallation so that you cannot go beyond the evaluation period PERIOD
without putting in the registration #.

Perhaps backing up, re-formatting, and doing an almost complete
reinstall (of visible files only) would do the trick.

Does this make any sense, or did I miss your drift of what you were
wanting to accomplish?

GODBlessUsAll.
