Serial # Reg Code problem after Hoster Crashed

[fizixdoc]

I'm running 3.108 and finished loading some disks when at the end of one disk, Hoster hung. When I couldn't get Hoster to close via task manager, nor could I get the PC to shut down or restart, I did a manual shutdown.

When I rebooted, and went to launch hoster, I got the dreaded Serial number does not match your registration information, reinstall Hoster again.

This is silly, since there is only one version of Hoster on this machine and I can't think of any good reason to have to reinstall.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks.
