Hi Team !
PLutil stopped MC5.5.3 after a StupidStudio12 install and now won't let me activate my already-activated MC5.5.3!
Does anyone know how I can "reset" my pc so I can continue with MC (shall I do a complete re-install - would that fix it ? ) :(
Against all my better judgement, I installed my old studio12 on my pc reserved only for MC5.5.3 (not installed 6 yet) ( I use Studio12 to convert AVCHD to MJPEG for stitching into Liquid7.2 re-edits )
Studio installed fine and did it's 5 minute convert task aok - copied mjpegs to pen-drive for later - ( I'd tried but failed with squeeze - I've not got to grips with it yet.)
Next day I tried to start MC 5.5.3 , only to get halted with "PLutil.exe" fail. ? ! ? ! - Did a search and came up with a fix from Marianna to do with Pixie removal tool. - Followed link to Pinnacle RegDelete_14.exe (or similar) , downloaded and "cleaned all" - PLutil problem now gone - great! - MC proceeds, but then tells me I need to activate. - When I try activation I get "maximum number of activations exceeded" . Doing a "system restore" to a point before I installed Studio doesn't change the situation.
please H E L P ! ! - I've tried searching posts but can't find an answer.
