I also couldn't get it to register and even tried uninstalling, redownloading,re-submitting personal info for reg. And re-entering reg info, AND I got the successful registration popup, but software continued to open as trial. Manually entering info worked. #43 Orchid, the written instructions in this case didn't work for some of us.
It was very nice of you to write them all out, but your tone implied that we are morons b/c it didn't work, that was a bit hard to take after multiple repetitions of following the instructions by pasting in the reg info. #34 Barbara, THANK YOU!

Simply follow the given instructions. They are clearly stated here as well as in the Readme file.
Use some common sense and previous experience with downloads and registrations with other offers from here. Download and install, close program after install by un-checking the box. Go to the link it clearly states to (in more than one place) and input your information. Page refreshes supplying the needed registration info and it's also sent to your email. If the page you are supposed to register at is not working, try again in a few moments, empty your cache and such, then try again. Remember that everyone's in different time zones and the site may be swamped by those from GOTD trying to all register before the time limit expires. Another thing, check and see if other areas on the site are experiencing any problems loading.
The whole site could be experiencing issues for various reasons. Open Program and register using what was given to you by copying and pasting info in designated areas as clearly shown. Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v works well if you can't right click, though I was easily able to right click with no problems. When all else fails, type it in via your keyboard. That's all there is to it. Again, not only is the registration given to you immediately when the page refreshes but it's also sent via email. Once you've exhausted different troubleshooting means (things to try and check: close program, run as admin if needed, check the system requirements, etc).
Also, if you LOOK at some reviews and information given on here (and links to reviews listed) you'll clearly get even more useful information and instructions. READ what's given, many times you'll easily find answers to your questions before having to post asking them. After you've done some research reading here, if you still have problems.post asking for help. Now on to the program itself. It installs very easily on Win Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Runs well and is easy to use. As stated, results will vary and depend on the contents involved.
It's possible to pick different settings to use. Compression times seem good and quality depends on the beginning material and how much it's compressed. However, I've found that the quality is quite good in my experience with it so far.
The price listed is, in my opinion, too high for those that would normally be needing to pay (meaning for those that do not get the offering here today or those wanting/needing to pay for it for other reasons). Thanks to those that provide useful reviews here, and thanks to GOTD and Balesio for providing todays offering. I'm not really sure why some seem to have a problem with registration.

If you go into Settings and check the setting for overwrite you can easily be assured that the new PPT or DOC will NOT overwrite your original.
You can also choose your save destination - can even set it to save to a particular destination every time if you choose. It is intuitive to save to the site of the original file. While I was disappointed with the amount of reduction (6.67%) on the PPT that I ran, I am sure that the amount of reduction will vary greatly from file to file and any amount of reduction is better than nothing, especially if the quality remains good - as it did for me. While I would not pay the present asking price for this program (as I think that it is very high for no more reduction than I achieved,in all, I am very satisfied to have this GiveAwayOfTheDay.

Thanks GOTA. #31 This prog has been offered twice before (September 10 2008 and July 9 2009) Very good compression software. No unnecessary emails from the vendors. For those who have installed the software before, no need to re-register it. After installation when you open the software click help and click 'show me registration code' you will find that your installation is registered.
Alternatively you can visit their site and re-register only to find that you have been given the same code as the last two times.

Another very nice tidbit is that when you register the software you get a link to download the program without the GAOTD wrapper so if needed you can re-install it later with the reg info given. This is a must have program if you do alot of powerpoint presentations as I do. Definite 2 thumbs up:) I will most likely purchase the updated version so I can work with Office 2007 formatted files as well. @ 20 - the 'software informer crap' as you call it is an optional install.
Just uncheck the box before you finish and it wont be installed. Downloaded and installed fine. Ran a test on a PPT file and am impressed at the quality of the compression.

I optimized a Powerpoint (97-2003) slideshow at maximum original size It was 1.42MB before & after Optimization it was 0.55MB I watched both again and apart from one photo being a bit fuzzy in the optimized version (It wasn't that good in the original pps anyway) I ould see very little change in the quality I need to practise more but as it stands great FREE program & a keeper.

To register you must provide your name and email address.
I tested with a batch of powerpoint files totaling 9.96mb. They were compressed to 3.34mb.
Also when I tested I had my files in their own folder and the output files were added to that folder so my original files were not overwritten! The compressed files showed only a slight difference to the resolution but hardly noticeable! All in all, a very neat little program for compressing to email your files.

#14 It is really nice to see a re-offer of any same program the 2nd time, because this will surely produce many credible comments among them who have really used it for some time, and not just a comment after maybe a few minutes or hours of use, comments input being limited for just 24 hours. PPT Minimizer does as claimed, minimizing sizes of PPT to 98%, with not much degradation of quality in the usual, everyday use of PPT in presentation. Very useful to routinely use after composing a ppt presentation, saving me a lot of space, and also, loads faster too in my company's poorly managed, highly fragmented disk computer. The previous giveaway was version 3. Now, anybody can tell us what is the difference with version 4. I am already satisfied with version 3, hope version 4 is better. Sometimes, a new version is worse than the previous, as I remember, Returnil offered weeks ago, I have to remove the new version and re-install the old, because of trouble with their anti-malware function, originally not in the previous edition.

PROS:. Successful download, installation, activation, registration on Vista Home Premium x64 SP2 OS.
Registration information is clearly displayed in 'About' section of program. Simple, clear, attractive, easy-to-understand, easy-to-navigate GUI. Supports 6 languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese.). Offers strong, standard, low, custom compression options. Smooth, easy, intuitive program operation.
Quality of compressed file equals quality of original source file. Allows for creation of new file, or replacement of original file. Allows for flattening of embedded objects choices of: never flatten, ask user, always flatten. Output folder location options include: use source folder as output folder, choose user-designated location. PPT File Mimimizer function can be incorporated as add-in for all MS Office programs. Offers options to: optimize file, or pack-and-go. CONS:.
registration not automatic - user must access developer site to request registration codes. No local help guidance within program. Price Point of 34.95 euros (approximately $45 USD) is a bit high, considering this program is no longer being supported or developed. This program should be offered as 100% freeware, given that the developer offers a newer/upgraded program (FileOffice Minimizer) for approximately $45 (for one user license). This newer program minimizes various office formats.
SUMMARY: - Program is easy to use, and it gets the job done efficiently and with high-quality results. It's a definite keeper for me. Thanks, GOTD and Balesio.

As Ashraf said,.docx is not supported in this version; but I have Office 2003 on one computer and Office 2007 on two others, so I usually save in.doc for continuity of files. PPTminimizer installed to 'Add-ins' in Office automatically as promised.
All functions were easy to understand. Make sure that you save your output file as a copy or in a different file altogether, or it will overwrite the original. Great program!
