cannot open trial version

[ghoward]

I have just installed the trial version of msp8 and cannot open it. I get the screen that says 30 days remaining but after hitting the try button nothing happens. Have restarted my computer but still the same.

Sometimes DEP (Data Execution Prevention) a security measure in Windows kicks in and will prevent a program from launching, or slam it closed while in the middle of a project.

To Exempt a program from DEP do the following:

1. Right-click on My Computer and Select Properties
2. In the System Properties dialogue that opens click on the Advance Tab.
3. Click on the Settings button for Performance.
4. In the Performance Options, click on the 3rd tab, Data Execution Prevention.
5. Click the radio button for Turn on DEP for all services and programs except those I select .
6. Click on the Add button, a window will open that you can navigate to where the executable file for VS, MSP, PI or whatever program you're having problems with, is located. Generally this is found under C:\Program Files\Ulead Systems\. However you may have it installed to some other location on your system.
7. Once you have found it, click on it to add it to the execeptions list.

Now if DEP was preventing your program from launching that should take care of it.

Try using the "Run As" option and run it as an administrator.
