Hi,
This prog is one where it says you can use it for a total of 60 minutes. It checks for debuggers and regmon as well. It starts up with a browser window(its own) with buttons that say Play or Buy. I restored the registry that i had saved when i had 50 minutes, but the game still says 43 minutes. so it doesn't find the time from the registry. how do i start off with this thing??

thankx.

It might very well use both the registry and the file system to hide its data. Some programs even use non-filesystem harddisk space for such things, but it's not very common.

You should try to use a stealthed regmon/filemon and possibly also debugger to check it out some more.

Also, you say it uses a browser window. Does it require you to be online while running it? In that case it might manage the time limit via a remote server. In that case I would hook the networking API:s and track the communicated data to the actual check in the program and then patch it.
