I don't have the CD I had a download version. Mine is the same as that shown by Heinz-Oz.
In fact we've solved your problem. the reason you can't get started is because those registry entries are missing. You need to re-install so it seems your in a bit of a catch 22 situation.

Oh, man. This is messed up. Well I can still call em up withy proof of purchase and they can send me a new serial...

No, I don't have the CD. All my Ulead programs are ESD, downloaded from elements5 and backed up to CD. If I need to reinstall, I copy the installer file from the backup to my desktop and install from there.

I'm trying to reconstruct what happened here.

You started with a trial version, right?

Then you bought the full version and got a serial number, right?

Did you ever download the full version, or did you just activate your trial version with the serial number?

The proper way of migrating from a trial to a full version is this:

- uninstall the trial
- install the full version from download or CD
- register your software with Ulead on their web site
- get and install update patches.

Yeah, sounds right...

This topic is a little old now but I just had an idea

All I need is a working profile file named/renamed either Profile, Profile1, Profile2, or Wilkie1(I'm not sure which was my last working one)

So open up regedit in Run...

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Ulead Systems > Photoimpact > 11.0 > Profiles and hit export in File and save it as w/e. Then email it to wilkie1020@hotmail.com.

I think/hope this will work although when i double clicked my exported file I don't know where it adds it int he registry(prolly where I exported it from)

One could try to do that, if one would like to take a chance. You might end up with a PC that will not boot at all rather than only a not working software

Furthermore, if it was that simple (trust me, it ain't), you would then run PI with someone elses serial number.

I think, buying a new copy to download for $ 90.- or, even better, the boxed version (you get VS 9 for free with it

) is the lesser of the available evils.

Ok, different Idea....

It came with like ten other programs would they all share similar or the same serial number?

I see two of them that do share the same but they are ulead photo explorer and instant veiwer so i'm guessing they won't.

Let me get this straight:

you downloaded a trial version of PI
later you purchased the full version and got a serial number
it worked fine after you "activated" it with your serial number
you never saved the downloaded file nor the serial number
now that you have a problem with it, it seems that it is not registered in the WIN registry
you have something like 10 programs that came with it
Question:
what programs are these? Can you give us a list?

This surely is a puzzling one

Photoimpact 11 of coarse

Ulead auto Detector

Club Photo

Ulead GIF Animator 5

Photoimpact album(prolly not a seperate program

Ulead photo explorer 8.6

Ulead cool 360

and Pixmantex Rawshooter

If i open up Album I can hit help and About but it doesn't display the Serial Number

When I look at my PI 10 or PI 11 serial numbers and compare them with the ones shown in the associated PI Album version, Album gives me the PI serial number.

Whether or not that will work in your case, because PI was not properly installed, I can't tell. Try it.

GifAnimator, PEX 8.6 have different serial numbers to PI.
