What are this DEMO-version doing to my pc ????????

Post by ksor »

I have ordered FlowCode V4, pay for it AND asked "Sales" to send me my product key so I can continue my working WITHOUT demo-restrictions - but unfortunately no response yet !

I then HAVE to use the DEMO-version 4.2.3.58 and live with all the demo-restrictions - and maybe force FlowCode beyond the limits of the demo-version !!!!!!

- and it's really spooky !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I run FlowCode it is

1) so slow to start,
2) changing my files after some minutes
3) sometimes I can't even exit the instance of FlowCode !
3) You can't "kill" this freezing FlowCode in task-manager - you have to reboot !!!!
4) When rebooting - it is so slow - and no icons is on the desktop !!!!!
5) you have to reboot 2-3-4 times before icons appear on the desktop

I DON'T REMEMBER TO HAVE READ THIS IN THE "DEMO-VERSION-WARNINGS" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I REQUEST AN EXPLANATION FROM YOU - IF NOT ... I'LL CANCEL MY ORDER !!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you got another pc you can try the demo on. Flowcode V4.2.3.58 is very stable indeed, I have tested it on XP, Vista and Win7, and it works like a charm.
One thing to try is un-install then reinstall, but please read this first
http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... 57&p=17029
it may help.
Other possibilities are a viruses or malware on your PC, or a program you have installed like a antivirus or firewall could be be blocking certain parts of flowcode?
Try downloading free version superantispyware, and use a well known online antivirus checker like mcafee.
You could find its nothing to do with Flowcode.

There is NO virus or malware installed on my pc - test says 100% free !

At least Matrix SHOULD have said something in the "demo-version-warning" - if the demo-restrictions is chanlanced !

I will NOT install FlowCode demo-version on any of my other pc's - no, NO and NO !

I'm wurried about FlowCode's very bad interaction with Window 7 - something seems as though Matrix have a very bad bomb ticking here !

Let's hear what they have to say monday morning !

Hello Ksor

Please read my answers to your other posts. It sounds like you have a faulty hard drive problem.

NO - please tell me why I can re-produce this "changing of files" ?

- and "work around" the DEMO-restrictions by ASAP deleting ALL files except the project itself ?

Nothing strange is going on on my computer if I DON'T use FlowCode DEMO-version !

Nothing reported back when teste the drives !

Did you download the demo version from our website? There are a number of other versions on the web that are are being distributed by other people, and a lot of these have been hacked. There is a high chance that some of these versions have additional "features" that have been added by the hacker.

Hi Steve,
I have used flowcode from ver 2.1, now use ver 3 on my laptop and a demo version of V4 and both work fine. Well everything except the limitations... LOL..

Best thing to do is get rid of the the old version and re upload from the website, then see what happens.

Keep up the good work lads.
