Annoying annoying Xara Update Check

[Big Frank]

Is anybody else getting this?

In the last 24 hours this annoying Update Check pop-up has appeared every time I launch Xara! It doesn't matter whether I tick the box "Don't show this again" or not, it still pops up every time!

This also used to happen with Xtreme when you would get the "Download the latest videos" blah blah pop-up.

It's really annoying. Anybody know how to get rid of it? I assume it's a registry hack. What I'd like to know is - why has it appeared now?

Yes, very irritating......... I had it recently with XX4 (not Pro) but it stopped after ticking "Don't show this again" box.

Here's what I use to stop Xtreme 4 trying to fetch unwanted updates all the time:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XaraXtreme\4.0\UpdateMessages]
"ServerCheck"=dword:7fffffff
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XaraXtreme\4.0\UpdateHelpAndSupport]
"ServerCheck"=dword:7fffffff
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XaraXtreme\4.0\Options\Update]
"UpdateDontShowAgain"=dword:00000001
"SpecialsDontShowAgain"=dword:00000001
"UpdateFileDate"=dword:7FFFFFFF
"SpecialsFileDate"=dword:7FFFFFFF

Save as a .reg file and import through regedit. The key name 'XaraXtreme' might well need to be changed for the Pro variant.

Nice one, Bob, me lad! Worked like a charm!

For those of you with XXP4, use this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro\4.0\UpdateMessages]
"ServerCheck"=dword:7fffffff
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro\4.0\UpdateHelpAndSupport]
"ServerCheck"=dword:7fffffff
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro\4.0\Options\Update]
"UpdateDontShowAgain"=dword:00000001
"SpecialsDontShowAgain"=dword:00000001
"UpdateFileDate"=dword:7FFFFFFF
"SpecialsFileDate"=dword:7FFFFFFF
