Hello,
Been looking at a new target but have gotten stuck again. I have disabled the annoying nag, and the expiration thingy yet I can't seem to enable some disabled options, never done that before and don't know what to look for or how to do it. I don't know if the options are even compiled into the demo at all, not that they matter anyhow but it's good reversing practice! Also I can't get the license agreement to disappear, it's probably not hard but I cannot find it ... I have no debugger except wdasm at the moment so all has been done with dead listings so far. Otherwise the target was rather simple, if anyone wants to have a lok at it:

WinTar SCSI 2.30 (about 900Kb)

Thankful for any help!

I would recommend you to download Softice, it will help you so much.
Putting a bpx on EnableMenuItem you will find the way to enable the disabled menu items. Once enabled you can continue tracing to see if the functions are compiled with the demo program or if they have been removed. Another way to enable disabled options is to check directly to the Resource section, using Exescope or Borland Resource workshop will let you change the resource of the program graphically so it will be much easier.
