Okay, I got the game. I played for an hour and it closed and the Key Expired window opened. I was about to enter the name and the key but the window is just blank. Nothing appears on it... :( Any ideas? Screenshot?

I'm not sure what happened, but what I would suggest is to close out of the game where it expired. Then, restart your game. You should get a yellow box, and on the left side, the options which include to enter your key. Press that, and then you'll get a small box with 2 blanks, one of which to put your name, and the 2nd to enter the key code.

Yup I agree, if that still doesn't work you could try re-installing it

That`s what I have done. When I open the game, the windows that I should be able to enter the code is black. I leave it for minute-two but nothing appears. Should I re-install the game as Eri says? :)

Yes, I would def. re-install it. Can't hurt, and may help.

I dont understand your problem.
What happens when you double-click on 3Stars.exe?

Eri, Windows XP, Service Pack 2. In the background I have NOD32 running. Can that screw it up?

Indy, when I click on 3Stars.exe, the screen that tells me that the game has expired and needs the key appears. But it`s blank (white) with absolutely nothing on it. +::fear

it seems there is a glitch with your computer.
have you tried stopping all useless programs and/or restarting it?

Well, I tried it yesterday evening and it was like that, then it was this morning after re-installing it...Do you think it is possible installing it on another computer (my laptop) and then copy-pasting the registry file and can you tell me the name of the file that gets edited when the code is entered, so maybe I can try that out? :)
