The main reason why this might happen is because the alpha (and beta) versions of Behold will only run for 90 days after their creation date. This is to help ensure that no older versions of Behold hang around after Version 1.0 is released.

If the current date on your computer is before March 20th, or after about June 20th, then Behold will only run once with when the code is entered. If for any reason, you set your clock back or forward just before or since you installed Behold, then what you are experiencing might also happen.

If it isn't due to your clock setting, let me know as I will want to fix this as soon as possible.

Hmmm. I have never had a problem on the three machines I test on - one being Windows XP Pro, one being XP Home, and one being Windows 98.

Tonight when I get home, I'll send you an e-mail privately to try to pin this one down.

My Registration key problem seems to be resolved. It was a problem on my end, not Behold's.

No. It actually was my poor design choice for the user interface that made Rich believe there was a problem. I'm sure others would think that as well.

I'm making changes to try to prevent this and will issue a point release in the next few days.
