[Trlog] Possible bug in POST

[Gene Fuller]

New Subject:

First  of all, to set the stage: I am relatively computer illiterates.

I have been using Win EQF for several years . After trying the "trial 
period" I  purchased it and successfully entered the registration number and 
proceeded with no real problem.

I realize that officially it is no longer being supported. Periodically it 
doesn't enter contacts without interrupting with a message telling me the 
trial period has ended and I should purchase the program and enter the 
registration number. I then find and enter the inexcusably long registration 
number and all is well  -  for another month or two........then the same 
drill all over again.

I agree that it's a great program and hate to give up on it, but ..........

Is there anything that can be done ? -  in layman's language.
