windows xp with sp2, activating programs

[vmyap]

how come if i activate a software and relauch it, it keeps asking for the serial or license key again after i successfully registering it.. i have a windows xp pro with sp2...

 

[spherrod]

what software keeps asking?

 

[vmyap]

getright, intervideo, etc... everytime i try to register a new soft, this always happens.

 

[spherrod]

when did this problem start happening, or have you had it ever since you installed Windows XP?

 

[vmyap]

well since after i install sp2... sometimes i use crack (this might be illegal to talk about it, im sorry) or keygens to register the program, usually to evaluate the program before i buy or purchase it. now when i do that, when i restart the program it would say unregistered.. i dont know if winxp with sp2 blocks it or prevents it.

Yes, that is illegal, and you won't find much help here.

I think your solution is fairly simple. If you purchase the software and use a valid key, I would venture to guess that your problem would go away.

If it doesn't, then you will have the full support of that company to help you with your problem.

yah, i guess microsoft really did something to secure other softwares from being crack or whatever..

umm...doubt thats even close to being the case. win xp has no control over third party software registration or anything.
Your problem is the crack, or a "bad" crack/keygen, or the software vendor registration knowing that its a cracked serial and blocking it to be registered.
