I was just curious to know if there's any way to reset the tracking of expired game trials. I've come across a few demo's I like but can not justify 20 bucks for a game I will finish in a week! I've tried to search for different download sites, but, they mostly go through the same publisher so no more play for me :( Any advice would be appriciated! -- thnx:P |

Games might even cost less if more people stopped trying to cheat the system. You've had your 20-days, if you like the game pony up the greenbacks. If you can't justify the expenditure, uninstall and move onto something else. -- -A. |

Well that's just it, you're playing a game where if you can't determine it's worth buying in 5 minutes, (let alone 60 minutes,) then you're never gonna buy it. Honestly I think I've played Diner Dash a TOTAL of 60 minutes, and I paid the $ for it. I will be the first to admit I am a total cheap bastard, sorry you take offense. I personally think games are WAY overpriced now a days, espically with digital content delivery, you'd think the prices would drop a lot. Peruse the Steam catalog sometime, there are a lot of good deals, but they aren't any lower than where you can get the game from other places, and in some cases they are higher. DD is a casual game, if you haven't gotten a feel for the game after 60 minutes then you probably were not going to pay for it in the first place, and there are ways to never have to pay for the game, but I won't tell you how to do that on a Microsoft forum. -- -A. |

Most of these games save the time left in some coded version in the registry...
