    Version I have does the same.
    Delete all files from directory for ETOS and re-install it.
    Probably an easier solution but I don`t know it.

    Mine did this ages ago. Never bothered to work out why or how to fix it though, I never got the hang of it so use ETKA instead anyway [:$]

    I just sorted my one last night.
    Firstly uninstall ETOS.
    Then delete files C:\ETOS_Neu.
    I think I had to delete some in folder rather than entire folder as it wouldn`t let me.
    Reinstall ETOS :thumbup:

    I think there is about a 30 day period when it expires.Some person with a bit of savvy in computing could find a fix for it I think.

    Mine does the same, haven't been able to 'continue' in ages.

    Going to uninstall it and speak to a programming friend at the weekend to see if he can fix it.

    I've also got a copy of ETKA that Im having problems installing? Anyone else had problems installing?

    Had this happen a few times, I just uninstall it and reinstall it and it works fine. Don't think there is a time limit as it worked fine for over a year, then next time was a few months... guessing it could be related to installing/uninstalling other progs within windows.

    Mine's gone too - and when I try to reinstall it keeps saying "hardlock not connected", and i've tried reinstalling the hardlock drivers over and over.[8(]

    it appears that a file in the C:\etos neu folder is modified to stop it being used.

    this worked for me: uninstall the whole lot. delete the etos neu folder.

    install it all again. before you run the program copy the etos neu folder to another drive or location as a backup.

    run etos as normal. when it goes pete tong simply copy and paste the backup folder back and the program should work ok again.

    happy geeking!

    Good tip - saves uninstalling/installing it every time!
