--- Comment #7 from Timothy Pearson kb9vqf@pearsoncomputing.net 2008-01-13 11:28:29 --- Unfortunately that did not help; the application is doing the exact same thing it did last time.
I am pretty sure the application uses a Macrovision software lock; could that portion of the software be attempting to read from a secured area of memory (say, to get the hard disk serial number)? I am not sure how to test this hypothesis.
