flaming pear Mr contrast example
to reset Mr contrast delete this out of your registry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMMENU.WMenuCtrl.2\CLSID29] < delete this key and all sub keys
if this key does not exist you'll need to use the method described below
after removing this you will need to re register it again with your reg#
(if you still get problems then contact flaming pear to get a new license key)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
use a program that monitors your registry to find the right key for the plug in that is affected. I used a free program called regmon available at www.sysinternals.com.
Exempt monitoring any process other than photo shop then run photo shop open an image for editing then clear the screen of regmon then open the plug in.go back to regmon you will see what keys it opened.double click the key and it will open it in reg edit (it will be similar to that of Mr contrast btw)
highlight the main [CLSIDxx] key right click export save to disk as a name you will remember. after you saved it you can delete that key because by double clicking the file you just saved will restore it again thats why its important to save it before making the change
If all goes well you'll be able to re register your product with your license key again
