awwwwwwwww shoot

alright thanks for the info

Hi - I have soundpackager working on my windows 10 pro 64 bit version. Here is what I did at least .....

The first bit is to download and install the free demo program (from stardock) in compatibility mode for either xp or vista. Also I checked 'run as administrator'

If it installs you can then try running the shortcut to the .exe program - again in compatibility mode (I think mine is as vista service pack 2) - also run it as administrator.

If the program soundpackager runs, and you can click on the different parts of the user interface and change to a different soundpackage, then the job is done.

If not then there are some registry keys using regedit that you can tweak that enable the system sounds to be changed. I think there are over 30 sounds that have reg keys like startupsound or logonsound, but many of them need the values changing to the same value as those of which are enabled. If you scroll down to the lower part of this web link (option 3) or do a search of your own you'll find what I am referring to.

I enabled all the sounds just to be sure. Soundpackager launches fine and I have technika as my sound scheme. I found the windows logonscreen sound didn't change in windows 10, so I used a simple non-stardock related utility that replaces just the default startup sound. I used a sample of windows vista media-centre opening....

and that is that - go for the full version, if in the sale!

I have installed SoundPackager on Windows 10. The program starts, but I cannot activate it, I constantly get an error when I try to activate it. I would like to know - this program cannot be activated on Windows 10? What should I do? I bought this product for permanent use! Here are the screenshots:

Other than SP not being made Win10 compatible (even with ippohicks seemed success in getting it to function), it has a very old activation scheme - one we also only partially support.  The only 2 suggestions I can make:

• Turn off all your firewalls (AV, Windows Firewall, etc).
• If you are using a router, bypass it and connect to your Internet provider modem directly (Ethernet preferably).
• If at all possible, and if its a laptop, try connecting to a different Internet connection (free WiFi for example).

Again, that is the mosts we can offer until SP is updated.

Thank you, Sean! I turned off all the firewalls, but the other steps you suggested were not executed. I will try to apply this.

No, nothing helped, the program is not activated. Tell me, please, will it be possible to get an alert if a new version is released, I mean, the version for Windows 10?

thanks ippohicks

i didnt try that method as i have given up lol but it seems like it might work
