I have been watching and using alot of these free giveaways and seems since june alot of them have been regular trial offers where nothing works unless you pay for the full version.
What good are these if they fail to function as offered? it seems they just got someone to pass there software out for free so they can sell more full version.
This is unacceptable. If it has no free updates no support that is ok but if it don't work why give it away???
how come most of these giveaways are regular trials

Games GuruHi Stretched,
As Hotdog suggests you must be doing something wrong. I've been visiting the giveaway site since November 2006 and have never downloaded and installed a demo of any software. Every application and game has been a full version. When you download the zip file and unpack it you should first read the read me because many of the giveaways do come with registration codes (on the applications side of the project). Once you've read the read me click on the orange colored set up file (with a key symbol on it) to install the giveaway, or if there's an activate key install the software from the executable file provided then click on the orange colored activate file.
Its as simple as that. :)
You can make sure its running in admin mode by right clicking on the applications executable file (or its shortcut) and selecting properties then from the window click on the compatibility tab. Near the bottom just above where it says Change settings for all users theres a section called Privilege Level. Make sure the Run this program as an administrator check box is checked.
