my question is regarding trial programs, for instance when you download a program and they give you 15 days to try it for free. how do these trials work, do they install something on your computer that tells the software how long to allow it. if so, is there anyway to reset this counter. my friends computer had alot of previous users and it appears some of these trials in the past. he went to try a program out and it said he already used up his 15 days.
Scrubbing the registry won't work if you don't know where it stored the trial over entry, neither will any registry cleaner. There's usually always a free, or open source alternative that works on par or better than a trial/commercial version.
the free version is ok. Click options>unistaller>untick "decrease shared dlls counter". Install your program through Totaluninstall.when it comes to remove it. uninstall it the normal way ( through "add/remove") then through totaluninstall

thankx for the advice guys, i might try some of these, i'll post back if any of the suggestions work out, if not i'll just format his computer and go from there.
