re-instalation problems again

[NATHAN]

Hi ,i have tried posting a few times with no reply ,but i need my desktop pc registration reset again please. Have tried to re-install but it once again says i have already installed both copies. I read that this problem may be caused by xp changeing its own cd code after end of installation ,weather this is true i do not no .All i do no is i have a way to get around the problem now my makeing a norton ghost image of my drive. So i ask again can you reset my desktop pc registration please so i can do a fresh install and back-up.

many thanks nath.

MTU must be on to you. they must think (know) your trying to load the software on multiple computers without paying.

no needs to reformat that much.

[NATHAN]

Well i often format to keep my system nice and tidy and i think i am allowed to format as many times as i like. Also i do not like being accused of pirateing. I purchased my copy of hoster and then purchased the 3.0 upgrade and should be allowed to re-install it as many times as i like on my desktop pc and my laptop and no other computer. This is all i have done and all i will do. I was trying to get some sence as to a post i read about the problem i am haveing being due to win xp changeing its cd code automaticlly after you install it and hence hoster thinks you are then trying to install on a diffrent comp.

Thanks for the accuseing.

[Beavis]

not accusing you of anything.

just giving my opinion.

we will see the outcome when bryan posts something.

[NATHAN]

Ok everyone is entitled to there own opinion even if they are wrong. My comp has all the same hardware attached as the last time dave reset my reg for me and just windows like last time ,so i think the bit about xp changeing its cd key after you install it maybe the problem. Ok beavis have you formatted since you bought hoster? And if so did yours go straight back in again?

thanks nath.

[Beavis]

yes i have and yes it did.

[NATHAN]

Then this is really really strange ,cause last time dave reset my reg all i did was install windows then install hoster ,but i did the same this time and it does not work.I have all the same hardware except a new printer which he told me will make no difference to the install of hoster. Have you any ideas? i just downloaded a program called "keyfinder" for xp and my key is the same as when i installed ,so my other comment that i wrote goes out the window lol.

thanks nath.

P.S. I am an honest person and would not pirate there great software just cannot figure out why i keep haveing this problem.

[Beavis]

this is my suggetion to you.

after you reformat, buy an extra hard drive and ghost your fresh version of windows to your extra hard drive. then you wont have to reformat, just swap out hard drives and you will have a fresh version of windows then start the process all over again.

this will leave you with a fresh version of windows with hoster on it!


make sure you get all windows updates and install all programs before you ghost (nortons ghost)

all nortons ghost does is copy your existing hard drive to another without reformatting.

[NATHAN]

Ah yes this is what i was planning on doing to solve this problem from reoccuring but first i need dave or doug to reset my desktop reg so i can install. I no they are not open 24/7 but i have e-mailed a few times with no reply. Are they still on holiday? as it is a bank holiday weekend.

thanks nath.

p.s. do you know if theres any news on the on the inclusion of the online database updates yet?

[Beavis]

i cant wait for the database to update, so i manually type mine in!

although this was talked about some time ago, i havent heard anything about it lately.
