"I've runned regedit, i've found HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and SOFTWARE but there's no squaresoft directory. any clues?"
I'm guessing you have 64-bit windows. I had the same problem. 64-bit users need to go SOFTWARE->WOW6432NODE->SQUARE SOFT INC
EVERYBODY, make sure you make the change in REGEDIT BEFORE trying to run the game. If you already ran the game, then uninstall, install again, change regedit, and LASTLY run the game.
Install instructions
Disable internet while installing do not re connect until peogram activated
Run the keygen and install prog using serial from keygen
use either alreay have trial derial or phone corel and enter serial there
Don't generate new serial or close keygen until activated or you will have to start again
restart program
after 1st run you will be asked to activate program use offline activation by phone
copy installation ID without dashes to to keygen (installation code)
you need to have same serial in program and keygen hence not generating new serial after put into program
this will produce activation code paste to program and activate you are now ready to go
this is the same as the official microsoft download. just go and get a key from MS's website. that will keep you updated till Aug. 1. product keys will be given out till feb. 10. this is the only OS on my system right now. that's how stable it is...if you're already running vista, you'll have no problems with this.
I just completed the full storyline. this is the FULL version. works fine in Vista. only issue i had was that the mouse would sometimes stop working in-game after saving. pausing and resuming the game should fix that.
"just like winamp said, it works for a while, like it did for me, and then it will say you have to activate now, but will tell you its already activated! then you have to reinstall win xp!"
Yup, this doesn't work. I had to reinstall XP. I recommend doing a clean install with this http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3667749/WINDOWS_XP_PROFESSIONAL_CORPORATE_EDITION

I just did a FAST install off of a USB drive; only 15 minutes to install. Works PERFECT! Now, let's just wait for a good crack :)
