[QUOTE="elendil, post: 120753, member: 2475"] dipdude's explanation is perfect. the only way to fool a program like that is keep on changing your system time at startup, or you before you run the program to the date you last ran it. That way it's fooled into thinking its the same day. Good Luck finding the file mate. It most probably is a registry key hidden somewhere, rather than a file . My guess is its an encrypted value. I doubt it would be so easy to crack it, if it was a well thought of process. An easier way would be to run a debugger, find the instructions, use a hex editor and disable the check. Even that might not work, if the person programming it was a smartass (like me :P). I had to do something similar once. Just deleted a few key files everytime the system would find an error with the time. There is another possibility too. If the program is network based, it could be a server side check. That my dear friend would be close to impossible to crack. But then as the adidas line goes "impossible is nothing". [/QUOTE]
