1154780	2010-11-20 02:35:00	Are these programmes ok to install or do they have hidden problems.? It's probably best to wait and read all the comments before installing. There is a certain amount of junk, you need to be discerning. It's also a good idea to have backed up your system beforehand too. The problem is that they cannot be re-installed once the time limit is passed. I used to have a useful audio recorder that suited my needs from GOTD in XP, but had to find another for Win 7.

Some of them have a License key in the text file, if this happens, you can go to the original software manufactures site, download the version and use the key provided by GOTD. IF the key is embedded in the install file from gotd, sometimes if you use a program that shows license keys, keyfinder or belarc you can get the actual key and reinstall if needed as described above.	wainuitech (129)

1154788	2010-11-21 04:02:00	Never had any problem but you need to read the the pop-ups and deselect the crapware. But a lot of the software is not that great. Its rare that they have anything thats usable.	porkster (6331)
