Here's a general overview (with screenshots) of how to purchase HappyNewYear!  The same process can be followed for HappyHolidays!

First, please download the latest version of our software from our website.  The download should be a Disk Image .dmg file which you can double-click to mount.  A Finder window should appear showing you the Installer Package.  Double-click the Installer Package file to run the Installer.  Agree to the license agreement, and install it to your hard drive.

The program will be installed inside of your Applications folder.  Find the icon for the program in your Applications folder and double-click it to run it.  The Registration Info window will appear if you have not yet registered the software.  Click the Register button.  Read the text and press the Purchase Now button.

Be sure you are connected to the Internet, and temporarily disable your firewall or bypass your proxy server if necessary.  We use eSellerate's purchasing and registration engine, so our software will need to make a connection the eSellerate servers for registration. If you receive an error during purchasing, you may need to check your Internet settings and make sure you have an active connection capable of connecting to eSellerates servers.  You may need to turn off your firewall or bypass your proxy server.

Once connected to eSellerate's Servers, you should see our shopping cart screen.  Verify the currency, product, and quantities, and enter your purchase information. Once you have filled out the form, you will see the Order Confirmation screen.

Q. When I click the register button I get the message "Patched by iMac Daddy" and I cannot continue. How can I fix this?

A. This is due to a corrupt eSellerate engine. Navigate to your hard drive, Library>>Application Support and throw the MindVision folder in the trash. Then navigate to Library/Preferences and throw the file "com.esellerate.owc80211g.plist" in the trash. Connect to the internet and go to http://www.esellerate.net/esellerate_update.asp, install the OS X update and try the register button again.
