TurboTax 2008 problem

Every time I open TuboTax 2008 Home & Business it opens the registration
page. I've filled it out several times and now just continue past it.

Why hasn't it taken registration? Is there a flag in a file somewhere I
can flip to get past this screen?

Very annoying.

Thanks for any info.

If you double-click on a tax-return file (or on a short-cut to it), TT
opens that return, bypassing the registration page.

Thanks. That works but I found where it needs fixing. In the file
C:Documents and SettingsuserApplication DataIntuitTurboTaxTY08
TTWinUserState.xml

the value of
"Intuit.Ctg.Wte.Service.Registration.RegistrationSuccessful"
was stuck on false. Set it to true and everything works fine.

I am less than impressed with this year's version so far. <snip

Thanks again.
