3D Mark error.

[savagesam117]

Afternoon guys!

I recently been having problems with 3d mark not uploading my result to the web, saying my code is invalid. Now the thing is, I've only ever used the demo version and have never entered a code?

Is there a way to change the file settings to get rid of this error or something? I've tried to contact them a few times and no reply.

You can only update your results if you have bought or received a valid genuine code.
Dodgy copies or the demo wont allow it.

All my other ones from the demo have gone on and been validated? I downloaded it from steam.

Maybe you get a certain time/amount free?

Google an utility called "Mark Reader". I used it a long time ago for 3D Mark06 but maybe it's been since updated to work with new versions of 3D Marks as well.

P.S.: sometimes you can get that message when you use beta drivers for your graphics card, but maybe if you uploaded a screenshot of the message we would be wiser. Also, demo version is not limited by amount of time you use it as far as I know. The only limitation of demo (or Basic) version is that it won't allow you to change test settings - for example you only can benchmark in "Entry" or "Performance" settings, not "High", "Extreme" or "Custom" ones.
