Re: freecell

[fancyfreefeet]

I downloaded the new freecell from badgehelp.  Works great.  My time expired on it, so I bought it and got the code, now it doesnt work.  Was working fine before I purchased it.  Will only ask for a refund if I cant figure out how to get it to work now, just says Landmark, NOt Found, Any Message

[BadgeHelpOscar]

reboot your computer

[fancyfreefeet]

I have rebooted several times now and it is still not working.   

This is my system:

XP Home Edition
32Bit Color
Smooth Edges Unchecked
1024 x 768

These are the messages I get:

Looking for Start Message
Landmark ***NOT*** Found: Start
Landmark ***NOT*** Found: Java Start
Landmark Found:  New Game
Landmark ***NOT*** Found: Any Message

Just sits there and does nothing. 

Here is another one I get:

Found Browser Window
Please Wait
Waiting for Game to Finish Loading
Landmark Found:  Start
Landmark Found:  Start

Clicks the Start and then does nothing

It was working great awesome, lot better than payday paycheck, which is ok, just gets stuck and sometimes gets the error message that Microsoft encountered an error, so this new bonus check worked great, no flaws that I could see.  Then all of a sudden once I purchased it and registered it, it quit working. 

I have gotten the above messages starting the program before loading the game and starting it after the game has loaded.  Can't send a problem report, nothing on the program to send it.

I got the exact same problem, and i have the same settings except i got SP2

Was working for me also,than not winning games...found bonus check..works great..and its freecell also..i'm confuse..but thats easy.

[maxine]

well..i checked my smooth edges which i had off..works great now..smiles

[thefreak2]

I tried checking the smooth edges and it still wont work, i think the program stuffed up as soon as i registered it

[maxine]

worked for awhile now not at all,i have to pause it before it finishes a game than start it again..yes freak, smooth edges didn't work..thought i fixed it....not

I have still been trying to get this to work, dont understand how it worked just fine when I first downloaded it and then after I buy it, it will no longer work.  One thing I did notice, before I registered it, 8 boxes come up on my desktop, the two dll ones, the engine, two boards, two solutions and tootbot diag.  The only ones that come up after I registered it is the Engine and Tootbot Diag.   I know it is aggravating for those other ones to come up on your desktop, but they must have something to do with the program and now that it is registered, they dont come up.

I also had that problem. It worked up until the trial was almost done, then it wouldnt do anything. I was going to buy it, and see if i could get get some help on what could be wrong, why it wasnt working, but with a baby coming, and getting an apt, and such, i dont have the funds to do so, even tho its not that much. I am playing manually, and my mouse keeps needing to be put on the charger, because i am clicking so much. This is one badge i dont think i will be getting.

Finally got this to work.  I never had a problem with any of the other autos, when the registration period ran out, I registered it after I purchased it, and they still run as normal.  But I havent bought any in awhile, so strange how this one worked.  I went back and restored my computer to a couple of days ago before I downloaded the auto.  Downloaded it again, it worked just fine, so I went and put in my registration code, it works just fine now.  The key is to remember to register before shareware runs out. 

[thefreak2]

how about the people who registered after the shareware ran out

[BadgeHelpOscar]

This is not true. The program will work if you run it out of shareware and then register

[thefreak2]

well how come it is not working now, i got the same errors as fancyfreefeet until he/she was able to fix it. How can I fix it

[fancyfreefeet]

Click on your Start, Accessories, System Tools, then system restore, pick a date within last couple of days before you downloaded the bonus check auto, let your computer restore back to that date.  Then redownload the bonus check again, then put your registration code you got when you purchased and it should work then. 

I dont know why it wouldnt run after I put my code in, it said it was registered but wouldnt do anything, how do you explain that BadgeHelpOscar???????
