I have a laptop and no problems so far on this laptop (OS WINdows XP).

but on one of my autoplayer systems i have a nice problem with fruit.

When starting the program normally a html file is loaded where you have to enter
your name and serial number.

but NOT on this machine.

it refutes to do so. instead it shows the htlm file in code-form without running
it.

i tried to "repair" this machine by de/install IE but this did not changed the
"problem".

so i cannot enter the name and serial number for this machine = program not
working !

This is a Win98 machine. and only 1/2 the speed of the laptop.
But it shows that copy protection is not only a NICE thing but also something
that stops the honest customer to USE the product he has bought.
