MS Project 2003 Trial version locks up

[Jaime]

I purchased the 60-day Trial version of MS Project 2003 10 days ago. I installed it only on my desktop last Wednesday. I started working on a file yesterday but today I cannot acces the file. An eror window displays the message "This trial copy of Microsoft Project has expired" ..? Anyone knows how to unlocked it?

Hi Jamie,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

The only reference I have is in FAQ Item: 6. Trial Booting. You could try
that. Otherwise, you could try contacting Microsoft. I would be
particularly interested to know how you get to solve this - please report
back.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://www.mvps.org/project/

Hope this helps

Hi Jamie, Mike,

I am quite interested in this one too - had it happen to me at a client
yesterday...

Hello,
I had the same problem with 2002 version. With the help of somebody in these
NGs, I did the following:
go start -> run -> "regedit"

Change:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Microsoft->Office->10.0->MS
Project->Options->General->FirstBoot to equal 1

Now, it works fine,
