Activation has nothing to do with your browser AFAIK. The only thing that happens is a page is opened in your browser after activation has finished - your activation is still finished even if the browser page does not open (if it all works properly that is).

I haven;t done anything with my firewall anywhere near the time this started. Things were fine before then. I haven't even used IE 8, Windows Update just installed it.

The last few days, I've been unable to activate GOTD software. It just occurred to me that my previous windows update (for vista home basic) installed IE 8. I think that that is when the problem started. I get "Failed to connect. Please try again later" every time I try, and I've tried a lot with each download over the past few days.
