   I tried to install this software on my computer and I got an error reading: "Fatal error: key is invalid" or something of the nature. I tried installing it within the last few minutes before the giveaway ended, but I'm sure it was not a time issue (or a firewall issue), for I tried on two computers that both displayed the time as before 2:00 and neither computer had a firewall running. The download package does not seem to have been the problem either, for I downloaded two separate packages on both computers. I am running XP SP2 on both computers and I haven't had any problems activating software previously. Please let me know if you can help! I actually took a screenshot, and if anyone wants to see it, I can upload it.

   This evening, for the first time in about the year or so that I have been using GAOTD, I failed to connect to GAOTD for about 4 hours.I mean I couldnt even their home page. The Internet conection was fine, everything else worked as usual.

   There was an open page that had a link to the zip file, a remnant of the morning I guess. But the link wouldn't open a download either until, at about 11:30, after clicking on the download link a hundred times, I suddenly got a download requestt. I accepted it, downloaded, unzipped the tar file, read the text file for instructions, and run setup ....

   Failure again. The setup was not starting the installation program at all. Sometimes I would get errors like the ones elimoon got, other times I got different errors. Mostly were telling me to come again at a later time. At 12:01, setup suddenly opened the installation program and it worked! Furthermore I was even allowed to test my new uninstaller, Ashampoo Uninstaller Platinun 2. The program runs fine and I got the data from the uninstaller. That was close and now I am curious about what happened.
   Anybody?

   Axcut,
   I think I may need another cup of black coffee.
   What was the name of the program you downloaded as a tar file?

   Hey guys, I downloaded buttonshop 3 earlier today but could not install it either, since GOTD's site was down on my side of the pond...and of course, since today was the first time in a while that I wanted the offered program, the site didn't open up again until after midnight. Its 2:30 am here now, and still no new giveaway - nuts. Not a happy rodent here Giveaway Guys - not really your fault, but I gotta grouse at somebody *grin*...
