immediately put an update online whenever a problem is identified.

If you purchased easyGen on CD or a boxed copy
If you purchased the CD version of easyGen, and are having problems installing and if the CD cover says Version 2.1 then go to our Download Site and install the latest version which is now 2.4 You can still use the serial number on the CD case to register and unlock 2.4.
If you have already registered your 2.1 version you need to upgrade see the upgrade page
You can also install the Microsoft .NET framework 1.1 from the 2.1 CD just browse the CD and execute the file "dotnetfx.exe"
For more help on registering see The Training Centre

The links to existing projects and creating new projects on the start page don't work since I upgraded to IE 7.
This is a bug in the IE7 internal HTML handling that no longer recognises page jumps as valid links. Unfortunately it appears that this "new functionality" is here to stay. If you are an IE7 user please download the easyGen patch here.
To install this patch, simply extract the contents of the zip file to your easyGen installation directory (it will replace the existing easyGen2.exe file).
Please make sure you are logged into Windows with full administrational privileges before attempting to install this patch.

Can not register easygen or access webpages via easyGen
The most common reason for not being able to register is your comuter is either not connected to the internet or a firewall is blocking easyGen
First make sure you are connected to the internet and then make sure any firewall software you have installed allows easyGen access.

Whenever I click a link on the start page I get a message saying I am not connected to the internet!
Make sure you're connected to the internet when you start easyGen.
If you are connected to the internet then first ensure that if you have a software firewall you have given easyGen "allow" permissions or if behind a LAN proxy server, enter the details for this in the easyGen options screen (Tools > Options, and click the LAN button), you will need to restart easyGen for these changes to take effect.
If non of the above applies then open Internet Explorer (IE) and under the Tools menu select Internet Options and make sure the settings are correct in Connections. Sometimes just opening IE will solve this problem.

Performance counters not enabled
Some users may get an error message saying performance counters not enabled. This is an issue with microsoft .NET and is something that should really be resolved by contacting Microsoft. However, from experience their support is next to useless on this issue and they appear to know little about it, even though it's a MS issue. SO we have put up this to help users but must stress you do this at your own risk. If it goes wrong, in any way we will not be held responsible.
Open up the Registry Editor by going to the start menu, selecting Run..., then type regedit.exe, and then click the OK button. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesPerfProcPerformance. If the category has been disabled you will see a value "Disable Performance Counter" and to enable this category just remove this value.
Please remember you do the above at your own risk, if you are unsure about doing this or not willing to accept liability if it goes wrong contact Microsoft support and take it up with them.
