anyone used Website Content Wizard?

155 replies
Hi everyone

I am looking for a good content writing software. I read the pros and cons for Mass Article but am still looking for others that don't cost a fortune.

Got an email this morning concerning Website Content Wizard. Is anyone using it?

If so what is your opinion? I really appreciate your help.

Thanks
Ken

    I dont use it but I heard that he just disappeared and stopped all communications with some of the people who bought his product. Apparently he's back now with an upgraded version but Im not so sure Id pay money for something that someone is not going to be around to offer support for it.

    It says the new version is supposed to be available August 3rd but that could be a date script for all I know.

    The software is decent and if there really is a version 3 coming I can't tell you what to do cause I haven't seen it. But apparently you can get WCW (the current version) at $100 off so you'll only pay $97 and then you get version 3 for free when it comes out. As far as support or whatever I don't know and have no idea what you can expect.

    Can't say much more but until he does right by me I won't deal with him or recommend any of his stuff.

    Good luck to him anyway.

    If you want to know more look in my sig.

      I didn't think it was horrible, I actually thought it was pretty good although I do remember hearing that it just wouldn't work right on some people's computers, which isn't uncommon with software. I don't know what other software you're talking about but it always dumbfounded me that the other software that people praised was Website Header Wizard. Geesh, I guess these people never heard of PLR/public domain/free stock photos plus Windows Paint to type their URLs on them.

      Re: Customer support guy - yea, poor guy. That was Kev Billson. He ended up working for free like I did and I think when I left he decided to leave shortly thereafter. He didn't want to leave because he didn't want to leave people stranded. I think I sort of convinced him to go cause although I could sympathize with not wanting to strand people at the same time it's like "WHAT? This guy does what he wants, doesn't pay, ignores us and then he expects us to be the suckers that take care of people for him?" so we both eventually said screw it. It's true, the seller wouldn't answer any messages (that he didn't want to) and it wasn't just me telling him to pay me the 000s in commissions he owes me but he wouldn't even answer Kev Billson.

      We'll see if there is really a version 3 or if it's just a trick to sell a last batch of it and milk WCW for what it's worth.

        Tommyp, You probably don't remember me, but you went out of your way once to help me. This guy wasn't offering support and like you said kind of vanished. You went out of your way on a Sunday. I have not forgotten and appreciated the effort.

          Hi Jim

          I'm upset to say that no I don't remember because I was inundated by many emails regularly at one point but thanks for mentioning it and I'm glad I could help.

          Unfortunately I now do not answer any questions about WCW.

          I still get the odd one here and there.

          If you still use it I hope you can make use of the fix by the other person on this thread.

            If I remember right we actually talked on the Phone, it was sometime back. In any case I was very glad I bought thru your link. WCW was a bit complex and your book most definitely helped a lot. I am sorry to hear that this guy didn't give you your due. No one can afford to work and not get paid. It really was (your book and the software) well done. So I hope you take a little comfort in that .

            To the original poster if you do get this (it wasn't a bad bit of software) it had quite a learning curve. I would for sure buy it thru Tommyp's link. And get the book.
            That is if he is still doing it. Like I said it was very well put together despite the creators "eccentricities", shall we say. I personally have no idea what is going on with Watson. Too bad this happened.

            Tommyp, I have been thru some bad crap too in the last few years, finally getting a little better. Keep your head up and above all do not let the *******s get you down.
            You struck me as a decent guy.

            Anyway I hope things get better

    I used WCW and am still using it if used right it is a great piece of software, but it can also be used wrong and the results are terrible. I bought some helpful guidance form one of his affiliates which really turned it on. After Dave Watson got tied up in his divorce he disapeared for awhile and I got concerned and looked for a replacement and have tried them all but have always gone back to using WCW Hope this helps.

      I don't know if that affiliate was me or not but in case anyone thinks so just know that I am not giving the instructions as a bonus because I'm not getting paid by David Watson. I'm only selling it. Yesterday I got some smart ass *bleep* who got pissed but they didn't pay attention to my website.

      He disappeared but stayed disappeared only when he wanted to be. He'd pick who to talk to and who not to. If he owed you money he wouldn't talk to you. All the supposed tragedy in his life didn't stop him from going to Mike Filsaime's seminars, creating or attempting to create new products with others and other stuff.

        Although I don't condone what he did I do understand what happened to him having been through a divorce 28 years ago myself and your sense of right or wrong goes haywire at times. It took me five years to get my life back together again.

          I met Dave a few times some years back and he seemed a particularly nice guy. He was really looking forward to moving to Cyprus with his wife. Then I guess it all blew up.

          I don't think that excuses anything he has done wrong but I think he deserves a little understanding.

          Pearson
          I get all that. But I gave him slack for more than 2 years. Would you be understanding if my bank balance were in the negative because I spent money to make WCW sales for which I didn't get paid a commission and then I robbed people to feed myself out of desperation?

          I was almost homeless from this but I won't tell you my life story.

          I know people have different dispositions, different natures, different personalities and different circumstances and I didn't just lose money in order by being patient with him, I actually put up with more than you'll know, which I admit was my own fault because I can be a jerk instead of leaving his abandoned customers hang.

          A considerable time has passed since all of his woes and rumored woes have passed.

          I've been in deep dark depressions. Bad places for a quarter of a century so far. I know what it's like since I was a child

          I get it when you lose your sense and you go bananas. I know gloom. I KNOW that stuff.

          When someone I don't know is having a bad day and aren't very polite I get it. You never know what's going on with someone.

          But when they are unfriendly with me but have a smile for others THEN I know that they have a problem with me and are not just having some irrational freak out.

          What I don't get is when people lose their dispositions for some things instead of most things.

          When I get fed up I hardly discriminate. But that's me.

          David Watson has (or had) sites for products that I found online, which aren't advertised on his main sites, that he was doing in the interim (judging from the dates), at least one apparently ventured with a female marketer. He would leave to go to seminar/s after the rumors started. And whatever else.

          So he has the sustenance and the overall wherewithal to deal with partners and communicate with whomever he chose and do whatever who knows what but he couldn't satisfy justified grievances, especially when I told him several times in many of the emails and messages I gave to others who would relay them, that I understand he may have personal things going on but if he, or someone he knows if he doesn't have the disposition to tell me, could at least give me some sort of semblance of an explanation or some assuring that there are plans sometime in the future when he is able to set things straight, so that at least I could move on and take my losses I'm told in one way or other to F off, yet he leaves me and his support guy doing free work while collecting payments and to continue to let us do so for as long as we were stupid enough to do it, even when I was understanding and he had no reason to expect any kind of backlash from me.

          If he were so jacked up he could barely function more then taking a leak and eating a cracker to keep himself alive and lying in some ditch going "Ohhhh, I can't take this anymore. My wife, my kids, my health" then I could understand.

          But the other stuff, nope, I can't understand that very well.

          In any case, I don't wish him ill. I know dark places and what it's like to be in them, for multiple reasons, all the time, day and night, unceasing, traumatic, sick, demented crap for years without anyone understanding and putting me down.

          Hopefully for him he can get back to where he was when he first had his five minutes of success. If he ever wants to give me an explanation he doesn't have to be worried about writing. But either way, this is old stuff and whatever happens is God's will anyway. Time to move on.

            Hi Tommyp,

            It is so good to "see' a familiar "face." Familiar, because you and I
            did spend some time in the WCW forum, along with several hundred
            other people.

            I even purchased your guide "Website Content Apprentice,"
            which was extremely helpful, when I was completely at a loss
            to figure our David's WCW.

            I, too, received an email "supposingly" from David, announcing
            the pending Version 3 of the WCW. Needless to say, I was
            completely shocked getting such am email.

            To tell you the truth, I flat out did not believe that the email
            actually came from David. And even now, reading all that you
            said about David, I still cannot believe that he is actually still
            alive. I thought that he might have long died (since 2007, the
            last time that I can remember anyone hearing directly from
            David), just like Gary Halbert, and Gary Ambrose, and some
            other famous internet marketers.

            So when I got the email, I thought someone must have been
            playing a cruel joke, and I went off like crazy on that "someone."

            Here is the email response I sent back to that... "somebody,"
            pretending to be David:



            =============Beginning of email reply================

            Subject: Re: Is someone playing some cruel joke here,
            pretending to be David Watson! Well, it's not funny! For
            literally years....



            ... Customers of David Watson's WCW fantastic software
            have been trying, without success to get a hold or to contact
            Mr. David Watson with critical questions regarding his WCW
            product, and no one has heard from him...

            ... And that has been since around 2007, or somewhere about
            there.

            Quite a few of us concluded that David had died, like a few
            others who have been online for a while (Barrington, Gary
            Halbert, etc.)

            Now, all of a sudden, out of the blue, you (whoever you are
            pretending to be David) must have got a hold of David's
            customer's list and is now trying to get some money out of us;
            knowing that we had tremendous respect for David, except, of
            course, when he up and left us dry to fend for ourselves - when
            we had difficulties and challenges with the software.

            At one time, we were able to go to the forum and ask for help
            (when we had challenges with the software) from those who
            had a little better understanding of how to fully use the software.
            But someone also took that forum away from us.

            I have had my copy of the WCW since around September 23,
            2006. I presently have version 2.0.5. My access code is: No!
            I won't give you my access code, until you show me proof that
            you are Mr. David Watson.

            (Umm! I was about to make one of the biggest mistakes of my
            online career. No! I will not give you my access license code.
            Not without proof of who you are.)

            Anyways, I am not going to sit down here at the computer and
            argue with you.

            I am still in shock! The nerve of you; whoever you are! David
            Watson; my foot.

            The Internet is truly a scary place: all kind of frogs and snakes.

            Anyway, I don't have anything else to say to you about this
            matter.

            That's it.

            ===============End of email reply=====================



            Well, Tommy, it has been days now since I sent that reply email,
            and no one has responded to my accusation.

            Go figure.

            But do you really believe David is still alive, Tommy?

            The truth is, although the WCW software was extremely difficult
            to maneuver, and has a very, very steep learning curve, it is still
            a very, very good piece of software... Probably the best of all
            those types of software programs in cyberspace.

            Still, I would caution everyone who is feeling a very strong urge
            to run out and purchase this piece of software, to make sure to
            do your own due diligence, carefully and timely. No need to rush.
            If it's David who has come back from the dead, we'll see.

            And yes, Tommy! I do also have Jason Potash's Content Composer
            (which I have never used, even though I was among the first set
            of persons to purchase the CC).

            Can you say, "Online collector of software." That's me.

            Go figure. :p Okay.

            But honestly, Tommy, until I read what you said here on this
            thread, I didn't know or hear what the real deal was
            with David.

            Now I understand.

            I have known of quite a few families that have been torn apart,
            since one or the other of the couples started doing business
            online.

            That has to be the most nightmarish experience of all times.

            I am sorry to hear about David's situation.

            And I find my anger and resentment towards him softening
            a little. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.

            Nonetheless, I feel sad for him.

            And if he should respond to my rash email response to him, I
            will do my very best to be kind and show mercy. It
            could've been me in that situation. Afterall, "trouble does not
            set up like the rain. Today for me; tomorrow for you. Everybody
            has his or her day," said a wise old man. From experience,
            that "saying" seem to have never miss that mark.

            Anyway, Tommy, you made me feel a bit vindicated... I am
            not so resentful now.

            Thanks, Tommy.

            Let's see what David do this time around. Afterall, I would
            have liked for someone else to give me the better of the
            doubt.

            Fair enough, I think.

              I have just seen all these posts about David Watson's Website Content Wizard and am a bit worried now. I bought it on 31st July with the promise of the upgrade to the latest version which was supposed to be released on 3rd August. It never happened.

              I contacted David and got a reply saying giving various reasons and a promise that it would be released at the end of the week. It never happened.

              I emailed him again but got no reply. The problem I have is that I do not know how to work it because the videos don't play on my computer. He said not to worry because I would not have the same trouble with the new version.

              So I now have the old version which I cannot use.

              I thought I would have a look through the forums to see what people were saying and I found this thread. I hope he launches is soon and I will be able to use it. The sales page made it sound so much better than a lot of these other article spinners.

                Sorry you have to go through all that but it sounds like to me that David needed some quick money so he promised an update to an old product that he no longer supports. I wonder how many other people were suckered in. Thats totally wrong on his part.

                I actually cannot watch the videos either using WCW 3.02, as the built in player does not work for me.

                Having said that, just go direct to the Tutorials folder:

                C:\Program Files\WebsiteContentWizard\Tutorials

                and you will see 13 videos, they have been saved as an mp4 video file

                To watch these videos will require a player that can open mp4's and if by clicking on them you cannot watch them, then just download RealPlayer (it's FREE) by clicking the link below
                and you will be able to watch the videos and see that it's not as complicated as you first thought.

                RealPlayer - Download Videos From YouTube, Google Video, Break, Metacafe, MySpace, iFilm, DailyMotion And Many More Popular Websites - www.real.com

                just go down to the FREE download - hope this helps !

    Tommy,

    I have WCW collecting dust on my hard drive. I'm one of those people who bought it but could never figure out how to properly use it. You've obviously figured it out. I'd have no problem buying your offer if WCW could actually do useful stuff that Content Composer can't.

    Can you provide any comparison between CC and WCW from the perspective of someone who actually knows how to use WCW?

    Thanks

      Yea:

      Website Content Wizard VS. Content Composer

      But if you're happy with Content Composer I wouldn't bother (even though that will lose me money if you don't buy my guide). But remember that I based the above comparison on the earlier version of Content Composer. If Content Composer has been upgraded I wouldn't know how. The comparison may still be useful though.

      Jason Potash was cool when I told him the situation. And he always paid me. I should have done something for Content Composer like I did with WCW but I only half assed it cause I didn't want to go and create a whole product to give as a bonus since I was burned out from WCW. I still made sales but not nearly as many.

      If after reading the comparison you think WCW is worth you using then go for my WSO cause it's less than what's on my main site. Details are in my signature. Thanks.

        Yes, that review did help.

        FYI, I think CC has improved quite a bit since you made that review, and if I didn't already have WCW, I wouldn't even bother with version 2.

        However, it still really bugs me that I could never figure out that stupid thing. So since your WSO is very affordable and may just turn my shelfware into something useful, I'll send you some money.

        Btw, I notice on your website that you say you give free upgrades for your course for every major upgrade of WCW. Does that mean that you'll update your course if WCW 3.0 is not vaporware?

        Thanks

    Hi, Canuck

    OK, I'm glad it helped. There is a 30 day money back guarantee if needed.

    I'll let that WSO go until it expires and then I probably won't renew it. So when it gets bumped off it'll probably be gone and it's already been there for four months. I have no idea how much longer it'll be there. I'm not sure about WSO lifespans.

    Re: Upgrades. Since it's on the site I plan to but I may take that down. That was written 2.5+ years ago when I started it and I didn't expect things would go sour.

    If version 3 comes out and I can access it, I *probably* will at some point go over it and update the manual, however:

    * Even though going from 2.x to 3 might seem like a major upgrade I will only do it if I think the new features are worth it - I think the book will still apply even if there are new features. If it's stuff that's not essential or a big improvement over what it used to be I won't.

    * I will do it at my leisure but there is a chance I won't indefinitely cause I'm moving on to other things and I'm burned out with David Watson, WCW and content spinners in general but it's possible I will do one more.

    * Anyone who bought since the WSO will only get it if they got on the updates list. I will probably contact everyone before that, who didn't refund, because I ignorantly didn't do a customer list, and this will be a big task. About 25% of people didn't sign up for updates since I did the WSO and they won't get it cause I won't contact them individually or make a page just so they can sign up even if they email me.

    In the last few days I've had more orders than usual pour in and I was curious as to why it had happened, cause I didn't send out an email or do any promotion or anything. It was strange. Now I think it's possible it's because these people bought WCW at the new discount. So, if it is vaporware I guess David Watson unintentionally did me a favor :-)

    Thanks for your interest and I hope that it helps clear whatever confusion you had about WCW.

    I think this is all I'm gonna say on WCW.

      Hey Tommy,

      Nice job. I've learned more about WCW in the first 13 pages of ebook than I did grinding through all the so-called help material that came with WCW.

      Still have lots to plow through (approx another 100 pages) but I've already got my money's worth, so I'm a happy camper.

      Did you ever think about doing one for Content Composer? Although CC help files/videos aren't dreadful like WCW, you'd probably be able to add value there as well. I'm probably not using that one to its full potential either (but at least I can use it).

        Thank you, Canuck. I'm glad it helped you, It may not help everyone but when it does I feel like I gave value.

        Like I said, I could have done something for Content Composer (maybe) if I had thought about it but I was burned out from WCW and didn't want to create a whole product to offer as a bonus. I also felt like I would have to learn Content Composer fairly well in order to see if there was anything I could add and it wasn't something I wanted to undertake. If I were I would have made more sales for it but I just didn't want to.

        Even if I don't do one for version 3 what you learn from this guide should probably open your eyes enough that when you get to 3 you'll know what to do.

    I'm not trying to defend what Dave Watson may or may not have done but I also lost control of my life in the year or so after my wife left me. Everything was totally dark for a while.

    I met Dave a few times some years back and he seemed a particularly nice guy. He was really looking forward to moving to Cyprus with his wife. Then I guess it all blew up.

    I don't think that excuses anything he has done wrong but I think he deserves a little understanding.

    WCW is one of piece of software I bought ages ago and have NEVER used. Not even once. Money down the drain I'd say. I also bought MAC recently too but havenkt had a look at that properly yet. I use my own tools more but like to buy others to keep upto date with what's new with I'm related apps.

    One thing that did seem aparent to me with WCW is how complex it looked.

    I did start a thread last week about the dissapearance of the WCW Forum, and apparantly that thread on this forum has just recently dissapeared - very strange.

    Anyway the point i would like to make is that Version 3.0 has now been released, and yes it was a little late, - lateness seams to be something that David Watson excels in.

    WCW V3.0.2 is floored also and there are a number of problems with this partaicular version from the tests i made yesterday Here is a list so far

    1 - From the help menu - selecting - AboutWebsiteContentWizard - gives a runtime error and the only option is to close the software down and start again

    2 - David has produced a new set of 13 videos in the tutorials section - but this new fangled WebsiteMediaplayerwizard he uses to display the videos, start up and just as quickly shuts down again, so you need to manually go into the tutorial folder to view the videos as required

    3 I innitially used the upgrade version, but this proved useless as all of my previous projects could not be used, so i made a back up and started a fresh install.

    4 The Tutorial videos have very low sound, in fact extremely low ! . . . . . and i needed to boost the sound level in a video editing package first, now i can listen to them perfectly.

    Apart from that, everything else seams to be working so far, but i'm sure there will be other problems along the way, as i have just had an email reply from Jessa on the dissapeared thread i spoke of earlier, who was having a problem of the licence key not being recognised.

    Is this software worth paying for ? . . . . . . .Only if your prepared to work at it, it's simply not going to get you great results from just one click, (and in my opinion, none ever will! ) but if your prepared to spend many hours learning how to use it, it works very well.

    Although I have not made a single penny from the sale of this software as an affiliate, I have made many thousands as a result of using this software, and using the methods outlined in Tommy P's product "website Content Apprentice" (excellent) and the inner circle member " Fred Myson " and his method of producing Website content Riches - total outlay around $500 . . . . . . . total return so far. . . . . . 10's of thousands.

    If you use WCW to generate hundred or thousands of articles to drive traffic to your own, and sites to make affiliate sales, you simply cannot fail to make money, so for me it has been worth it , but you must work at it !

      Well, the morning after I wrote my post complaining that I did not get the new version I had a message in my email box saying it had finally been released after a lot of problems.

      I still cannot use it as I get a licence mismatch message and I am devastated to read the
      above. If it's that difficult to use I am sure to find it impossible. I was hoping for great things.

      What a bummer!

      What he like with refunds?

        Hi Sandy, not sure why this licence thing is becoming a problem for so many people, as my licence enters with no trouble, in fact i uninstalled it and again installed a fresh copy after reading your post, just to test if it still accepts the licence.

        The only possible thing i could think of, is your not connecting to his server to validate the licence, this shoud be automatic when you enter your licence details, but perhaps check to make sure a firewall is not blocking access as this would definately cause this type of problem.

        As far as refunds go, . . . . Don't know, never asked for a refund ever, on any product i have purchased !

        If i can help you with anything, just ask ,and i will be more than happy to help you !

    I'm also having some upgrade license issues. Yet I can uninstall 3.02 and reinstall 2.05 and it will work, so I don't know what is blocking the license activation.

    Submitted a support ticket but no response to this one yet, but I submitted one about 2 weeks ago and it was responded to, so somebody must be manning the ship.

    Guess I'll have to run the 2.05 version for now until the license activation issue is cleared up so I can spend my hours of time learingin. And thanks Tommy for the great book. It will be my bible in the next few weeks while I strain my brain on this software.

    _________________________________________

    OK, I no sooner posted this and I thought I'd try to open the 3.02 version once again before I uninstalled it and what do you know??? You guessed it. The license activated. So I went to my second computer, just in case it was a fluke, and it activated there also. So they must have fixed whatever problem they were having on their end. So no more slacking for me now :-)

      Glad to see it is now working for you, let's hope all the others having similar problems will now gain access once more with their licence !

      As far as version 2 is concerned, was I the only one running with Version 2.13, as no one yet has mentioned this, only the earlier 2.05 version ?

        Not sure about the newer v2. I only purchased this recently, so haven't even started playing with it yet. I also can't watch the videos from within the program, but they seem to work if I open them from the start menu. They run in his own player when you do this, which still seems kind of flaky, but at least I can see them.

    I am telling everyone, magic article rewriter is a slam dunk compared to most article rewriters, easy to use and not even all that money for something that is so complicated its its not funny. It does not have to be that hard to be good, but unlike mass article control sometimes there is to simple. Don't get that one either. When I first started I bought UCC (Ultimate Content Creator) and just blew a fuse trying to learn that software. Gave it up. Hell right now for the price of one months membership you get Jason Potash's PLR membership and he is giving away content composer, 297.00, and article announcer, 7700 PLR articles. Not saying to quit this after one month but they are a better deal then Watsons set up.

        Hey Tommyp,

        Are you still here?

        Well, guess what? I was able, without any drama at all, to upgrade
        my WCW2.0.5 to David's new copy: the WCW3.0.2.

        WOW!!

        And the videos! Oh, the videos!

        What a change in quality from the first set of 2006!

        I am beaming!


        I think that all this time, when David went missing, that he
        was really hard at work - in order to come back with something
        special.

        And special, it is. Very, very special!

        And from watching the videos, this WCW3.0.2 is really several
        steps up from the last version, it seems.

        I am extremely please with all the new inclusions: WAW, WSW,
        etc. That's a nice touch, I dare say.

        By the way, David still did not reply to my ranting email response
        to his email to me about the launching of this 3.0.2 version.

        But that's okay. Since I have reasons to believe that he actually
        read my email. He must have. Because guess what, David has now
        included windows vista in this new WCW version.

        How wonderful is that? :p

        Cool!

        So this upgraded WCW is running as smooth as can be, on my
        computer system.

        Great.

        You know, Tommyp, I think some of us where correct about the fact
        that there is still no other "article spinner" that can do what the WCW
        can do for article writers.

        When you think of the "explodepersonalthesaurus" function of the WCW,
        as of yet, I still have not been able to find an "article spinner" with such
        a sophisticated function.

        Unless I have not been looking hard enough. And probably I haven't.
        Shame on me.

        And by the way, Tommyp, I first learned about this powerful
        "explodepersonalthesaurus" function of that part of the WCW
        software from your WCA guide that you put out a few years ago.

        what I mean is, I did notice the "explodepersonalthesaurus" function,
        but when I watch David's first set of tutorial videos, I couldn't fully
        understand the use and power of that function, until I read it from
        your WCA.

        Thanks!

        Oh, that brings me to an important question, Tommyp. Do you
        remember Cordless from the WCW forum? (I still have the link to
        her video which teaches "newbies" how to effectively use the
        WCW software to make/create well-written articles).

        Anyhow, what I wanted to ask of you was, how was Cordless
        able to eventually maximize the synonyms in her WCW software to
        over 2. ++ million synonyms?

        I know she did use the "explodepersonalthesuarus' function in the
        WCW to help her get to that level. But how were she able to get
        a hold of so many synonym sets in order to reach that 2. ++ million
        synonyms?

        And Cordless didn't make up that story. She wasn't exaggarating at
        all. We know that, because on the video, she actually showed us her
        "personalthesuarus" screen shot, and it actually did show that there
        were 2. ++ million synonyms in her Personal Thesaurus.

        I did try to ask her about it. But everything went hay-wire after
        David got "lost, disappeared from the scene"; followed by the
        shutting down of the WCW forum. I lost track of her after that.

        But I have always wondered how was she able to accumulate that
        many synonyms.

        Anyhow, just thought I would ask.

        But I have to tell you, Tommyp, I am one pleased David Watson
        customer on this Monday morning. And yes! That is even if I did
        find some problems with the software, later.

        On the videos/audios, David sounds like his "old" self. So I really
        do pray that whatever the matter was with him and his family,
        that it would take a turn for the better, soon.

        But, I am happy he is back. And I sense, he is here to stay, for a
        very long time. Maybe!

        Okay, Tommyp, I have "chat" your head off. Enough for one day.

        But before I end this piece, let me again thank you so very kindly
        for the tremendous help you provided the WCW customers, with
        your WCA production.

        Have a great Monday, my friend.


        Alodie

        P.S. By the way, a bit of a warning to everyone, and anyone, who
        is reading this post: this is not a testimonial from me to you, so
        that you think or feel that you need to run out and purchase David
        Watson's WCW software...

        ...At least, not unless you have done your very own due diligence:
        carefully and thoroughly.

        I am actually "talking" with Tommyp.

        Not meaning to be selfish or anything of the kind. But I have
        been online for what seems like forever. And I have had some
        pretty, pretty bad experiences, with diving into "some" program
        or the another or spending my hard-earned cash, because of
        some sly testimonials from some sly internet BOZO.

        But it wasn't their fault. It was all mine. I didn't take responsibility
        to carefully scrutinize a product before jumping in, head first.

        So now, you take responsibility for your hard-earned cash, and
        do your own due diligence.

        Now, I can actually hear you 'thinking' :rolleyes: ... If she didn't want
        me to read her post, why didn't she send Tommyp an IM, instead
        of speaking with him right here in the forum?

        A fair enough question.

        And the answer is very simple.

        I am extremely lazy, and that would be tooooo much work for
        me.

        So there.

          software from your WCA guide that you put out a few years ago.

          what I mean is, I did notice the "explodepersonalthesaurus" function,
          but when I watch David's first set of tutorial videos, I couldn't fully
          understand the use and power of that function, until I read it from
          your WCA.

          Thanks!

          Oh, that brings me to an important question, Tommyp. Do you
          remember Cordless from the WCW forum? (I still have the link to
          her video which teaches "newbies" how to effectively use the
          WCW software to make/create well-written articles).

          Anyhow, what I wanted to ask of you was, how was Cordless
          able to eventually maximize the synonyms in her WCW software to
          over 2. ++ million synonyms?

          I know she did use the "explodepersonalthesuarus' function in the
          WCW to help her get to that level. But how were she able to get
          a hold of so many synonym sets in order to reach that 2. ++ million
          synonyms?

          And Cordless didn't make up that story. She wasn't exaggarating at
          all. We know that, because on the video, she actually showed us her
          "personalthesuarus" screen shot, and it actually did show that there
          were 2. ++ million synonyms in her Personal Thesaurus.

          I did try to ask her about it. But everything went hay-wire after
          David got "lost, disappeared from the scene"; followed by the
          shutting down of the WCW forum. I lost track of her after that.

          But I have always wondered how was she able to accumulate that
          many synonyms.

          Anyhow, just thought I would ask.

          But I have to tell you, Tommyp, I am one pleased David Watson
          customer on this Monday morning. And yes! That is even if I did
          find some problems with the software, later.

          On the videos/audios, David sounds like his "old" self. So I really
          do pray that whatever the matter was with him and his family,
          that it would take a turn for the better, soon.

          But, I am happy he is back. And I sense, he is here to stay, for a
          very long time. Maybe!

          Okay, Tommyp, I have "chat" your head off. Enough for one day.

          But before I end this piece, let me again thank you so very kindly
          for the tremendous help you provided the WCW customers, with
          your WCA production.

          Have a great Monday, my friend.


          Alodie

          P.S. By the way, a bit of a warning to everyone, and anyone, who
          is reading this post: this is not a testimonial from me to you, so
          that you think or feel that you need to run out and purchase David
          Watson's WCW software...

          ...At least, not unless you have done your very own due diligence:
          carefully and thoroughly.

          I am actually "talking" with Tommyp.

          Not meaning to be selfish or anything of the kind. But I have
          been online for what seems like forever. And I have had some
          pretty, pretty bad experiences, with diving into "some" program
          or the another or spending my hard-earned cash, because of
          some sly testimonials from some sly internet BOZO.

          But it wasn't their fault. It was all mine. I didn't take responsibility
          to carefully scrutinize a product before jumping in, head first.

          So now, you take responsibility for your hard-earned cash, and
          do your own due diligence.

          Now, I can actually hear you 'thinking' :rolleyes: ... If she didn't want
          me to read her post, why didn't she send Tommyp an IM, instead
          of speaking with him right here in the forum?

          A fair enough question.

          And the answer is very simple.

          I am extremely lazy, and that would be tooooo much work for
          me.

          So there.
          cool. it's nice to see watson is paying someone even though he's not paying me.

        I got mine activated in th end. The problem was resolved at David Watson's end but I still can't use it. I can launch it from the desktop icon, it flashes up onto the screen but it closes down almost immediately.

        I have submitted a ticket to support but no reply as yet. I have Windows XP.

        Anyone else having this problem or any suggestions please?

          I have just downloaded the update and have it working great and the videos are much better than the last ones. I don't like his player so I go to the folder they are in and play them with QuickTime player that way I can start and Stop them as I choose. Kev Billson is back in the support position as I got an email from him when I had a problem logging in I forgot my password. The new version is a great improvement over the version 2.05 and his instruction videos are a 100% better than the last.

          Regarding the problem "it flashes up onto the screen but it closes down almost immediately" I think it is your firewall as it is closing just as your software is trying to verify your log in try turning your firewall off and opening WCW up.

            I tried turning off my firewall but it has not solved the problem. I did not get the problem with the previous version.

            Also after waiting 3 days for a response they have closed my support ticket saying they did not receive a response from me when they asked what operating system I had. I did respond and it is in black and white on the ticket system. Someone said their support was bad. I have had to open another ticket.

            I am already exasperated with WCW.

              Sandy,

              I think no ticket gets answered, I know my 3 tickets were closed like yours - it's a new form of customer support...

              Closing my av/firewall enabled mine to get acitivated, and I can't think of anything else to try.

              By the way, has everyone noticed the message at the top of this thread? In general, that's a great ethos but whoever wrote it can't have experienced wcw I'm thinking...

    Thanks to Tommyp's guide I finally understood WCW. Sorry to hear about these problems.

    I did try watching the video's as well, but was mostly hypnotised by David's voice into a very deep sleep.

    Well ... I also got the news from David, and upgraded.

    I like wcw. It is a bit complicated and time consuming, but it does work.

    Having been unable to get the videos to work and having lost count of the support tickets and sarcastic emails I have sent Dave; I was really pleased to get some info on how to play them

    However, I couldn't get them to play in Real Player, but did manage to get them to play with VLC Media PLayer.

    So if you have the same problem download VLC here (free) VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player

    Cheers

      Hey Sandy,
      I installed this vlc and any time i try to play it disappears or gives a message saying that it has crashed. I even uninstalled it and installed again but still the same problem.
      Does anyone have another media player idea i can use.

    Hey Guys
    If you want a powerful piece of software that takes some learning this is great, but don't expect any support. David is great at producing software, but once he's got your money you're on your own. I've given up trying to get help and even his help desk staff although they can't comment seem to know there's a problem. Worth the money though if you don't mind working things out for yourself.

    I don't mean to hijack this thread, as I don't have WCW, but I have received his email promoting his new Website Blog Wizard software, which I am interested in.

    However, being aware of the problems and lack of support buyers of WCW have experienced, I have held off on the Blog Wizard.

    Have any of you tried it out?

  • Profile picture of the author Hortensia
    Once you figure it out how WCW works, you can see the countless possibilities this software has. The new videos are a great improvement I must say. But there is a learning curve.

    I bougt WBW [blog] as well. I am still figuring it out, but there are some real clever possiblities, for example 'context linking'. This puts in automatically your predefined affiliate links, every time you use certain predefined words in a blog post.

    Oh well...what can I say? I think Watson is a genius. And at the same time an unreliable 'diva'. That type of personality. So you want to deal with that? It's up to you and I think it's not for newbies.

    Buy it if you like to live dangerously ;-)

    If you can cut thru all the sticking points and really know how to apply it all, you definitely have an advantage over your competition.

          I tried to buy Website Submission Wizard on November 7th, 2009 but didn't even get a download page!!!! I've emailed him literally 4 or 5 times and he hasn't responded at all. I've had to go to PayPal but am forced to wait 30 days to get my money back.

          I use WCW and it is a great software and he should be applauded for that but his customer service is beyond horrible. He NEVER answers any customer service/tech. support emails -- EVER.

          Were you able to get a copy of WSW?

          WCW is a great piece of software. The latest version is really good. It's very powerful. To learn it, watch the videos and you will pick it up.

          Going to PayPal is the first option. They told me I had to wait as there is a grace period given to the seller. I had the EXACT problem. The software download page just won't come up at all. His customer service is beyond terrible. It's totally non-existent. Don't ever expect to get an email back with tech. support. He totally and always ignores them. He did mine. I learned the software by playing with it and watching his videos on the new version. That helped a lot.

            Hi everyone

            First thanks Tommyp for your work on the book it was a great help and I recommend it to any other struggler with WCW

            WCW is a great piece of software. The latest version is really good. It's very powerful. To learn it, watch the videos and you will pick it up.

            However using any of the Blocks system to re-write articles still comes up with nonsense. I tried the most simple sentences and it churned out complete rubbish, words that were not in any of the sentences used, which makes me think you need a pretty big personal thesaurus for it to use, as it looks like it does draw words from it.
            Can anyone advise on this?? help please !!:confused:

            I was not sure about buying WSW after the support problems began which were some time ago now.

            And a then couple of weeks ago I lost my password ( OH NO!! ) the support contact page was not available and the site was being worked on according to web hosts Hostmonster.com.
            Then lo and behold a new style contact page appeared which made me think things were looking up, but alas NO !! still no contact, accept the automated password recover which came by email ( which I had already found )

              Lee-Jones can help? Wanted to get the latest version of WCW.

If anyone has ever gotten a working download for the website SUBMISSION wizard and knows how to get it working now that would be awesome too....paid for it but never even got to use it once....

              I have 3 of his products, been looking all over the internet for David, Googling his name for weeks etc,

              It just came to my mind that maybe something drastic happened to David, a Stroke, a Heart Attack etc.,

              His sites are all shut down or suspended for some reason or another.
              Only time will tell, maybe one of his close associates will come upon this tread and shed some light.

              Please avoid ALL references to David Watson from now on. If he were in hospital, he wouldn't be mailing his list so frequently.

              The only purpose for this thread from now on is to provide what support we can for Warriors who are product owners. Nothing is to be gained from making positive or negative comments about the man himself.

                  Hi, I've been trying your solution to no avail.

                  I am able to see my wcw program on my old laptop hard drive as it is connected via usb/ hard drive enclosure conected to new laptop. I can even open it up
                  However It gives me errors that it can't write to the files. Eventually it goes to the licesene verification server message then that's where I can see my projects in read only mode

                  I assumed the errors were because I was accessing the program through the old hard drive and because the program was not installed on the new laptop

                  What I did from there is to copy the 2 files from the old installation to a new folder on my deskstop then installed a fresh install on the new laptop

                  Looked for the 2 files from the fresh install and then copied them back into the old installation
                  and opened it up got the enter licesne dialog box. Closed the program and then copied the
                  WCW001.DAT (actually my files are like this WCW001.dta etc) back into the original install

                  Basically from there it repeated the previous errors from before and opened in read only mode


                  I even tried to copy the old files in to the new install on my pc but still got errors.
                  I'm encouraged that I'm able to open the software as I figure its close to being solved but am stuck at this point.

                  Thanks again for your help

      I tried to buy Website Submission Wizard on November 7th, 2009 but didn't even get a download page!!!! I've emailed him literally 4 or 5 times and he hasn't responded at all. I've had to go to PayPal but am forced to wait 30 days to get my money back.

      Did you get Website Submission Wizard to work? If so, how is it?

    Hi everyone
    I am a new boy to the forum and joined with interest on any info and news on WCW

    Having purchased the V 2-0-4 software in 2007 it sat on my HD without real use until now, although I did tinker with it over the years with occasional visits to the WCW forum.

    I really could not get it to work properly but I realize now there is a bit of a learning curve that needs to be mastered as with a lot of software.

    I was surprised when Version 3 was announced as it came just at the time when I was about to blow the dust off the WCW software. Not only was V-3-0-2 being sold but a free upgrade to old customers was offered, which I gratefully took, then almost immediately there was an update to V-3-1-0.

    There is a new feature in it which David calls Article Brainstorming which I have tried several times, but alas all I get out is nonsense.

    I was wondering if anyone has tried this??
    Perhaps it needs an enormous thesaurus like Cordless had

    Yes "alodie" I also remember Cordless and still have her video I did'nt know that many synonyms existed

    However I now have to get to grips with it as I do think this could be a great piece of software, I haven't got a clue what that function "explodepersonalthesuarus' does or how to import more thesaurus and synonyms and where to get them

    I think I may need your book "Tommyp"

    Anyway just thought I would introduce myself

      My book could help with some of that.

      I think I may need your book "Tommyp"
      Not if you want deep help using the thesaurus.

      I go over how to use it. But I don't recommend it as the main way to spin articles.

      If that's what you want it for then save your money unless you just want to know how to use the feature.

      Hi Pearson:

      Thank for your reply.

      For the past few days, I received at least 5 emails from David about his WCW and WBW newsletters. Followed the given link and landed to the sales page of WCW, clicked on the order button, Paypal showing "This recipient is currently unable to receive money". And the funny part was David's email even came with Coupon Code for purchasing the WCW.

      Are David Watson is serious in the business or just a "typical" Internet Marketer??? That the BIG question mark in my mind.

      websitewizardsoftware.com even listing all David Watson products but non of given links link through.....


      Thank you.

    I'm afraid I've made no further progress on getting in touch with David.

    David is not a 'typical Internet marketer'. He's really a programmer with a very clever and inventive mind.

      I had to reinstall XP and I cannot get my website content wizard license validated, my software is useless, could someone help?

      Could someone contact David, what is going on?


      Any tips to make my copy work? I am going crazy with this, he has not answers my support ticket.

      Make sure you have a great backup with reg key because you will not reinstall.

        Hi,

        I was afraid this was going to happen with Website Content Wizard. The same exact thing happemed with Website Article Wizard. The validation website disappeared and the program will not validate your license therefore you can't use it after 30 days. I figured out how to get it working again. Looks like the same thing is happening to WCW, because the validation website (websitecontentwizard.com) is down. Let me see if I can get this application working like I did with WAW. I will post it herer if I am successful.

              Tresgros,

              Here is a fix that will get your program running again. Follow each step closely. If you have any problems please let me know. My program is up and running again, with no help or support from David. If you no longer have access to a Working directory of Website Content Wizard (when your program was working) let me know so that I can email you a file you will need to get you running.

              Step 1: Go to the current directory that you installed Website Content Wizard. i.e. C:/Program Files/Website Content Wizard/

              Step 2: Copy the current (registered) .DAT files to a different folder. (WCW001.DAT and WCW002.DAT) (Note: we aren't going to actually use WCW002.DAT, but this file is a part of the validation process)

              Step 3: Reinstall your original copy of Website Content Wizard to a different computer. (if you can't do this, contact me and I will email you the "raw" .DAT Files)

              Step 4: Copy the "raw" .DAT files to a different folder. (WCW001.DAT and WCW002.DAT)

              Step 5: Copy BOTH RAW .DAT files into the Website Content Wizard directory on your computer: WCW001.DAT and WCW002.DAT

              Step 6: At this point, if you Start-up the program it will be in the original state when you first set it up. You will be asked to enter your License Number and Access Code. But, you don't have it right?

              Step 7: Copy the Registered File from Step 2 (WAW001.DAT) from the REGISTERED FILE Folder. (Note: Do Not copy the WAW002.DAT file because this file has been compromised and will limit your 30 days)

              Step 8: Now when you execute the program you will receive an additional 30 days to use the program. Unfortunately you have to do this every 30 days, but the entire process takes less than a minute.

              This same process works for Website Article Wizard and I would guess it would work for any of David Watson's products. Too bad we paid for these products and are being forced to have to do this.

                  Hi Rudy

                  Just got back to my desk after holidays and found the problem with WCW validation server.

                  I am up and running at the moment but will no doubt need your solution to continue using WCW.

                  As I don't have access to another compatible computer could you send me the data files I need to complete the process bob at tek - marine dot co dot uk.

                  I think its very commendable of you to take the trouble to help others which is very much appreciated

                Thanks for the tip. It gave me another month to work with. Lucky for me and thanks to you too I had a backup of the original install, the one I made back in November. Here's what I did: I got all the *.dta files from the original directory and copied/overwrite them over to the new install directory. I will run a batch file to do this automatically.

                      I don't think you need a second computer - the second computer was to get the raw files. The raw files that have been provided here in a previous post.

                      Here is a little tip though....My WCW was supposed to go down yesterday so I was getting as much done as I could down to the wire. Well it has continued to work and I am guessing it will as long as I keep the program open. I expect once I close it down or my computer reboots that it will not open again. So if you have a project not quite done, keep the WCW open before the deadline and you might get a few extra hours out of it before having to try the fix.

                            No, all your projects and thesaurus will be intact
                            when you apply this technique, because all you are doing
                            is replace a registery file, nothing else is touvhed

                            The only downside is that you will need to

                      I lost all my original raw data files so now I can use these.
                      Do you need a second computer to do this process ?

                      I think there is a lot of us out there that need help in this situation and guys like yourself and brw9532 are much appreciated

                      Many thanks

                      Paulette is quite right Bob - using the 2nd computer
                      was just a way to install the program in order to
                      get the .dta files.

    Anyone has any idea if Dave is coming back? Most interesting is just today, I got a spam mail advertising other products (affiliates marketing) from "him". He is still around I am sure, just hiding.

    I have been trying to email him but totally no replies whatsoever. Some of you guys are lucky, you got version 3, I am stuck with version 2.xx (blame myself for not downloading earlier). His download site (the one with the IP address) were down before the websitecontentwizard.com went offline too.

    Hate it when such things happen. I should pay someone to hack all software I bought so that I do not need to rely on all these silly validation systems which almost always go down after a year or so.

    Sometimes it does not pay to stay legal does it?

    We're allowing this 'support' thread to stay open as help to Warriors who have been let down by Dave Watson's lack of support.

    Please do not 'bash' Dave Watson any more. It's against the forum rules, we'll have to close down this useful thread and apparently he's not listening. The whole situation is awful - but it's pointless moaning about it.

    Thanks.

      I can't say too much on how to bypass this problem because in my day job alter ego I work in the B2B software development sector and I know some of the people who own the companies that produce piracy protection software.

      However, this mess reminds me of when Oracle bought AppForge and shutdown the activation servers for the booster runtimes and screwed over a lot of people who had already paid thousands for their licenses.

      Anyway, here's a tip that will help those who know what to do with it. Who can then help the others who don't know what to do with it. ;-)

      All of David Watson's products (WCW, etc.) that I've seen are written in Softvelocity's Clarion.

      And I'm pretty sure the protection scheme he uses is from Lindersoft.

        Just a quick note to say that our company, Lindersoft, does not produce any protection scheme that uses a web server to "activate" an application.

          My apologies Friedrich. That's what I get for going by memory.

          I was confusing Capesoft's Secwin Online Server with SetupBuilder's web installation ability.

          But you guys do make great installation software.

      Eddie, I'm sorry I can't be more explicit, but it really would be a conflict of interest for me to say too much because of my day job.

      The reason I posted those hints at all was because I saw brw9532's clever workaround post and thought he/she might be able to take my hints, run with them and find a more permanent solution for everybody.

        Thanks for posting your solution,

        Talk about a nightmare I use WCW as a webiste builder (thinking outside the box) as well as an article spinner. Theres absolutely nothing better than this once you get a handle on how to use it

        As everyone else has experienced I kept getting the licsense server error and only had until the 26th to find a solution

        Unfortunately............

        My computer motherboard fried this afternoon but looks like I might be able to get the data off the hard drive using a usb connection to the new computer. If this is the case will I be able to follow your instructions to get WCW working on the new PC?

        Or do I need additional files that wouldn't be on the hard drive???

        In any case I would appreciate your help. I can supply an email if need be


        Thanks in advance

    I made another attempt to get through to David Watson on Friday when I went to a lunch in London. I'm trying to get hold of a guy who is David's 'super-affiliate" and is often at this lunch. Unfortunately, he wasn't there but he did tell a friend of mine that he was in regular contact with David. So I'll keep trying.

    Hi Guys,

    My WCW expired yesterday (30-1-10) I tried the above solution with no success.

    My current WCW is installed on Vista Home platform while my other PC is an XP based, can it be that RAW files created on XP won't work on Vista?

    Or maybe this solution won't work on Vista anyway... (Registry issues??)

    Can anyone send me a RAW WCW files for a Vista based WCW?

    Thanks.

        "Unable to perform license validation"

        I never make it to get back to that popup message when I first set the program up and was asked for the License number, Access code etc.

          Did you have a running copy of WCW on your computer
          to start with?
          Or are you trying to install WCW fresh?

          If you do not have WCW already installed on your computer,
          then this will not work.

            Yes, I have a fully licensed running copy of WCW for over a year now, it isn't a fresh install...

            It seems to me that you have to apply that solution of .dta files PRIOR to the expiration date, otherwise, it might be too late...

            Is that the case...?

          I found that even after it had expired, it worked fine.


          So, you

          - created 2 folders in the WCW folder - RAW & REGISTERED.
          - copied both registered 001 & 002 .dta files from WCW folder into REGISTERED folder.
          - placed the 2 new raw 001 & 002 .dta files into the RAW folder.
          - copied both the raw 001 & 002 .dta files into the WCW folder.
          - copied the 001 .dta file from REGISTERED to your WCW folder.

          Is that right?


          BTW, save a few copies of the registered .dta files, in fact your whole WCW folder, and store them for future.

              Hello all,

              After reading all the problems people are going through here, I have a litle suggestion which will work just fine for those still having problems.

              TRY THIS TRICK:-

              1. Before you open any of David's programs, change your computer's date. (I'm sure you know how to do this.)
              Make it earlier than the expiry date which you get on the pop up.

              2. Open all the programs (David's) you want to use. - You should be able to open them only getting the warning pop up message.

              3. After this you will have to change back your computer back to current date. - This is because of the automated processes e.g. website blog wizard, website submission. Why - because they will be scheduled to run at later dates since you have back-dated your computer.

              You can then keep your programs open for as long as you want. OR repeat the same next time.

              I hope this helps someone and best of luck.

              Kinuthia.

                    Ok guys,

                    I have a solution for everybody's problems. There is no need for the raw files if you do it this way. If you are running XP, it works great, but i have not tested it on vista or windows 7. You do not have to change the time on your computer.

                    All you have to do is go to
                    HTML Code:
                    nirsoft.net/utils/run_as_date.html
                    and download runasdate. It is Free.

                    1. Download run-as-date software and unzip it with winrar or winzip.
                    2. Click on RunASDATE.exe
                    3. Click on Browse Button to find the link software (c:\program files\websitecontentwizard\WCWizard.exe, click it than click open.
                    4. Go to where the (Date/Time) box and "set the date back like to Jan 1, 2000 or whatever you want".
                    5. Go to create desktop shortcut and type in WCWizard.
                    6. Press Run Button and bam. You have working websitecontentwizard with a icon on your desktop for 10 years or more. Do the same with website blog wizard and website article wizard and website header wizard or website submission wizard.



                    Cheers

                      By the way, David Watson, or someone using his name and the websitecontentwizard.com website sends me a new promotion, almost daily.

                      Does that mean tere is still a responsible party lurking somewhere?

                        This thread is the reason why I joined the Warrior Forum.

                        Got a virus on my computer and had corrupted backups. Reinstalled WCW. I had an extensive database of synonyms and articles. Now, nothing.

                        None of the fix methods work. I really liked this program.

                          I have that one, used it briefly along with a similar one called:
                          Site Profit Bot which I liked too.

                          One of them was only $37 for a lifetime license, Maybe it was that one?

                          Try Site Profit Bot - you just might like it!!


                          All these similar names are so confusing. I had this WCW mixed up with CWB

                          http://www.contentwebsitebuilder.com/ <<---that's the one that's $37.00 lifetime license

                              Bob

                              Why is it a problem to install on another computer?
                              Do you not have the installation files?

                              Why is ist a problem to back up?
                              Or can you not find the data files :

                              WCW saves all projects in your Application Data folders, not in C:\Program Files\WebsiteContentWizard

                              On my computer (using Vista) the path is :
                              C:\Users\neil\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\WebsiteContentWizard

                                  To backup your WCW projects on XP (unlike in Vista) WCW keeps all your projects under C:/Program Files/WebsiteContentWizard

                                      Hi,

                                      Any breakthrough for people trying to install a fresh copy?

                                      I have my Licence Number and Access Code, However nothing happens when the "ok" button is clicked.

                                      WebsiteContentWizard-204Setup.exe is my setup file, so I believe my version is 2.04

                                      My copy had worked fine in past and I have developed more than 2000 articles with this extraordinary software.

                                      Anyone willing to share their .dta files so that I can get it working?

                                      -------------------------------------------------------

                                      PS: Any other software which can do the "excel data" trick wcw supported?

                                        they will give you a copy of their registered files

    Mine will not work on my Vista system. I have it installed on my XP netbook and was able to use all the projects using the DTA swap method. Unfortunately all my main projects are on my Vista system, and the DTA file switch isn't working. Is there someone who has Vista and has revived an "expired" install of WCW? Something just isn't letting me do it.

    **UPDATE**
    I actually got it to work on Vista by CHANGING THE DATE to Jan 1st (Before mine expired on 24 Jan). So it is worth giving it a shot if you are in the same boat as me.

    1) Change the date in Windows to a date before your copy expired (I used Jan 1st 2010)
    2) Load WCW (It should give you the "Will expire on XX day popup")
    3) Leave the WCW window open and change your windows date back to present day.

    Repeat the process if needed. It's worked for me multiple times. Did it work for you?

        I have a solution for everybody's problems. There is no need for the raw files if you do it this way. If you are running XP, it works great, but i have not tested it on vista or windows 7. You do not have to change the time on your computer.

        Cheers

    Guys,

    Now that we all know how to bring WCW back 'alive' does anyone knows how to backup their WCW.

    Suppose I want to run my licensed WCW on my other PC including all my accumulated projects, what do I need to do ?

    I installed WCW on another computer and licensed it using my exisiting license, I copied all original .DTA files into the new WCW - I can open WCW, but I can't see all my projects...

    Is that the way to do it, or the project files are hiding somewhere else...?

    Thanks.

      WCW saves all projects in your Application Data folders, not in C:\Program Files\WebsiteContentWizard

        Would anyone be willing to share a REGISTERED WCW001.dta and WCW002.dta so I can try to install this software? I'd be happy to provide proof I purchased it, if you're concerned.

        Basically, I got suckered into purchasing WCW about 6 months ago when this pre-v3 promo was floating around. I got busy with other work and never got around to installing the software until recently, after the activation server went down. I'm hoping I can get some use out of it and not just be out the money

        Thanks for all you have done figuring out this fix.

            Thanks for your response, inview. But it looks like your patch only works on copies previously installed, no? If you re-read my post, I'm asking if someone can provide me with registered files, not raw files, so I can install for the first time. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to install the software before the author skipped town.

              By the way, I did see the note on your website about not knowing of a way to get the software running if it wasn't already installed. Shouldn't my proposed method of swapping in someone else's registered DTA's files do the trick, considering that other posters have had success moving the Program Files from one computer to another? That's why I'm hoping someone will be willing to share their registered DTA's. As previosuly mentioned--I'm happy to provide proof of purchase. Just hoping to get some value out of this software, rather than it being a complete loss!

            I have at least 4 of the Wizard products and cannot get to the license server
            on any of them. Looking forward to a fix for WAW since I did not have it installed.
            Just tried to install, put in license and access code and it couldn't find the server so it
            won't install.

            Thanks for everyone's help on this.

    I have a variation to the problem of accessing software I purchased from David Watson.

    I have Website Development Wizard, not Website Content Wizard. Originally purchased 17th April, 2009.

    My problem is that I had the software installed on a PC that had total hard disk crash of two drives in RAID and the external back-up drive. Don't ask me how much pain that caused, I don't want to talk about it.

    I still have the original installer archive on another external hard disk, so I have run the installer but I get the Initialization and Registration pop-up

    (screenshot at screencast.com/t/ZDBjMDFkZ)

    So I don't have any original registered .DAT files to recover with, nor I think will setting my clock back help in this instance.

    As the domain for websitedevelopmentwizard.com is expired, there's no way I can login to the system to get a license and activation code.

    Can anyone suggest any way I can make use of this software that I paid for?

    I have still got my emails from David with access details for the website.

    ie. "Hi Bradley,

    welcome to WebsiteDevelopmentWizard,

    Please keep the following information secure, so that you will be able to refer to it in future.

    To login to your account, you need to go to (link won't post) websitedevelopmentwizard.com and click the menu option LOGIN."

    etc.

    Thank you very much for any assistance with this.

    warm regards,

    Bradley

      Thank you Pearson, appreciate your understanding

      And as you say, it is an unusual situation, and it just
      comes down to buyers wanting to be able to use
      the program they paid for, not to rip anyone off.

      Thanks.

      I had the same problem last month when i tried using WCW. However, the problem did not exist the next time I used the program. It seems to be an acute problem that goes away. But it is very worrying, I agree, since you expect service from the vendor.

    I've warned everybody several times that this thread could only remain open if it was about the product and not about the person behind the product.

    I fully understand why people are angry with David - I feel that myself every time that I receive a 'promotional' email from him.

    However, Allen has set very stringent rules for this forum and it's my job to make sure they are obeyed.

    I think the best way to make sure that the valuable information in this thread is not removed by any of the senior moderators is to close it at this point.
