Hi,
I experienced exactly the same problem and yet don't know what is the
solution... if you solve it, please let me know.
About the registration... just download it once... then everyone should go
to Star Division's homepage and pick his serial number. You don't have
to download it many times... the file everyone downloads is the
same...just the serial generation is based on your personal info.
cheers
Kledi
