I need help.

I must have forgotten to update iSiloX to v4.01 on my Win NT computer at work because starting yesterday, the 15th of the month-- the usual iSiloX beta expiring date-- I get the following error window whenever I try to run iSiloX:

"Beta Expired:
This pre-release test software has expired and will no longer function. Please update to the latest version"

I can't be absolutely sure this error is due to iSiloX-- because there are no other references, properties, right-click-info, etc, but its appearance starting on the 15th of the month is a big clue. BTW, this window also periodically comes up by itself-- probably as iSiloX is attempting to comply with my scheduling directions.

So this morning I tried installing v4.01, and did so successfully according to the setup.exe file. But even after a re-boot, I still get this error when trying to start iSiloX-- and it still comes on by itself also!

Is this in fact related to an expired iSiloX beta? How can I fix this? I can't start iSiloX. I am therefore an unhappy PDAer, since (according to Ak Applog installed on my T3) iSilo is my most-accessed app.

Thanks
Marty

When installing iSiloX, make sure that it is not running either actively through the user interface or through a scheduled conversion. After ensuring that it is not running, run the installation again using the release version. Make sure that you do not reinstall the expired beta version.

I don't know how to check if it is running-- in fact I'm sure it WAS running because the "beta expired" error window kept popping up by itself, probably responding to attempts are self-running. How could I check if iSiloX is without opening iSiloX-- which I couldn't?

Regardless, I tried UNinstalling iSiloX, leaving my data, and then installing 4.01. It worked and all is well again.
Thanks
