Subject:RE: Wave Hammer Demo Reply by: kleb Date:2/8/2005 10:56:51 PM Me Too! I just updated from 7.0a to 7.0b and get Wave Hammer in Demo mode. The previous thread on this didn't appear to have a decent solution. Do we have to fix this in the registry???
Subject:RE: Wave Hammer Demo Reply by: kleb Date:2/9/2005 9:57:56 PM HELP! Could someone in tech-support explain how to fix this? The dialog box says "Wave Hammer (r) --DEMO" Right-clicking in the title bar and selecting "Register..." does nothing.

Delete the following keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sony Media Software\Sound Forge\7.0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Sony Media Software\Sound Forge\7.0 Also make sure that there are no Sonic Foundry Sound Forge 7.0 registry keys still there. They would be: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sonic Foundry\Sound Forge\7.0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Sonic Foundry\Sound Forge\7.0 After you've done these things, install the latest version of Sound Forge 7.0 available from this link.
