   Am I having some kind of browser refresh issue or did today's comments just stop at around 3:30pm EST? I know I even wrote a brief one and it still says "awaiting moderation" - on my end anyways -
   just wanting to know if this is unique to me or is everyone getting no comments past this afternoon? Thanks.

   I have the same issue as #'s 60 and 68 on the download page. I cannot activate this for anything. Laptop, desktop, run as admin, went through every setting in my modem, router and machines. netlog shows it trying to connect, but no activity through the modem.

   "FAILED TO CONNECT. TRY AGAIN LATER." I've tried off and on for over 10 hours. I guess I'm not getting to keep this one unless someone has a last second fix. I'll keep checking for awhile, but time's getting away on this one.

   @meowzz - suggest you empty your browser cache - you seem to be looking at an old copy of the page - at the moment the moderation queue is empty.

   @bem, as a quick check - is your Internet Explorer working ok - can you open http://giveawayoftheday.com/ using IE?

   If it is set to work offline and you didn't notice because you use Firefox or Opera to surf the net - Activation will fail with a connection error. So Check that IE is ok and can connect to the download page.

   Literally a day late and an hour or two short to help anyone else, but I downloaded the whole package again, extracted the Activation wrapper and ran it. Worked in a blink.

   I hope that helps any future sufferers with that particular error message.

   Nite all...

   Bubby, since you mentioned opening in IE, I have a question. I use Firefox as my browser, and have the option to view pages in IE.. but for some reason, nothing will open in IE. Did I 'unset' something?? I know I need to use IE to upgrade a couple of things such as McAfee. Any ideas?

   @copmom: What Firefox extension are you using? I use IE Tab. And also, does update.microsoft.com automatically switch to IE mode and operates correctly?

   In firefox under tools it's I.E. view 1.4.1 and no.. haven't tried update on microsoft.com yet, so don't know, will check that out

   For that matter, my USB 2.0 hub and my USB 2.0 All in 1 card reader stopped working too. I've tried the reader both with and without the hub. It shows on control panel, system, as 4 letter drives with a yellow question mark and says it failed to initialize and might not work properly, code 10 (which means unknown), and yet on "my computer" those drives don't even show up anymore. It DID work before. My machine must have a ghost floating around to sabotage things.
