BLANK FIELDS WHEN TRYING TO REGISTER
Also when trying to register you may have a blank field when trying to input keys . To remedy this if running Vista or 7 right click and empty area on your desktop and select "personalize" , when the personalize window opens look to the left of the window and select Adjust font size then in the new window select default(96DPI) then you can retry inputting the information .
For laptops you may need to do the following with Windows 7
(1) Right-click the Windows desktop and select Personalize.
(2) At lower left, select Display. (There is no Adjust Font Size option.)
(3) In the middle of the screen under "Make it easier to read what's on your screen", select Smaller - 100%. (Courtesy of Morgora)
