Try deleting everything, reboot and install AHP only and register it, then re-install everything over the plain AHP. You should get everything showing as registered.

not true. I had this same problem and nothing fixed it. I had to hack the registry to get the old version onto my new computer. The new versions don't update anything exept the DLL's and the EXE's. they don't clean up their messes

What you posted is not 100% true.  AHP is like all programming, a continuing work in process.  Some versions are buggy programing and quickly become known to avoid. The latest buggy version is 3.236, the last good version is 3.228.  Every new version only updates what it in the 2 folders that the first version of AHP installed created.

Now see, when I was in software development, I had each upgrade do a complete audit of the user config and user files. In this case it would be easier since the AHP files are a flavor of XML and the config is from the "validate your registry entiries 101" class. Seems like a programmer would not only get this done pretty quick but also be pretty dang happy to do it so that each new release is "normalized"... But, that was when *I* was in charge. :)
