I havent used or needed to use my MTH cartune software since november, but i just got a new file and tried to upload it!

Problem is soon as i try to run cartune, an error box with the version no at the top, comes up saying, 'Order from MTH a Update please' and thats it doesnt even run the program

What is happening??????

Thanks in advance!!

Cartune software only lasts till the end of the year you bought it, and then you have to e-mail Volker for the new version. It's free, just a PITA. Hope MTH never go bust or we are all in trouble!!!

Thanks for that, do you think re-installing it might work??

I tried putting the clock back but that didnt work

Cartune seems to put a marker on your computer when it "expires". If you then put the clock back it still doesn't work, even if you reinstall it.
I think to try this trick you would have to set your clock to your cartune install date EVERY time you switch on and essentially keep it like that so that Cartune can never see past the end of the year, once it puts that marker on your PC it's dead. This is also a PITA, but who knows - one day a new version of cartune may not be available, you may then have to install your old version of Cartune on a different PC with a suitably set date and leave it like that!!
