Hi Shaun, No offense, but what is your obsession with reformat, reformat, reformat, etc. I don't want to sound harsh, but when you get on the list saying stuff like that it makes you sound like a complete computer idiot. As a matter of fact reformatting is not the only way to reset the timed trials, and if you knew half the things you claim too you would know that by now.
For one thing if you know you are going to do this in advance you can create a Windows restore point which will back up the registry before it gets modified. So when the trial ends simply go into Windows restore and restore your old registry. That's the simplist fix for the problem. You can also simply export the registry before installing, and if you want to run the trial again, uninstall the demo, import your saved registry, and reinstall it. Again not a big problem if you plan ahead. If someone didn't prepare in advance it can still be fixed without resorting to a reinstall. Someone with the skills such as myself can open the registry locate the keys that caused the timed trial to expire, and blow them away. Reinstall the game and as good as new. This method isn't recommended for the average computer user but anyone with an ounce of programming knowledge who has worked with the registry before can certainly do it. Cheers!
