lately, when I have downloaded software from GOTD, when I open teh register file,
it tries to connect with GOTD and I get a message; "Failed to connect, please try again later" I am running win 7 home addition. I do not have any internet connection problems that I am aware of, all my bookmarks for regular visited forums work fine. There must be a setting somewhere where I can fix this. Seldom do I see software on GOTD that interest me. But lately there have been two that I wanted to use but cannot get the registration process completed. Any suggestions?

Hi Brushy Bill
Please tell us some more... such as what OS/browser you 're using and which security software you're running.
Someone over here might be able to help you out on this.But please do read the GOTD Instruction Manual first.
Credits for this manual go to one of members of this forum, GMMan.Posted 13 years ago # -

Thanks!!
Win 7 home addition, firefox browser, Avast antivirus, I turned my firewall off to see if it helped,it didn't , and I turned it back on. I have downloaded GOTD software on this system before,, the last two times I have tried it, I get the message shown above.
I did try and run as administrator also.I went to the GOTD instruction manual and saw nothing in there that I was not already doing. If some one would like to call and help out, I can call you right back and save any long distance charges to you. ---deleted---

Please check if your IE is online, even when you don't use it as your browser. The GOTD activation process needs IE.
No posting personal email addresses or contact details. We know where you live. ;)

Thank you grayfox!!!
that was it,, I started to uninstall my IE, but chose
to disable it instead. This was a week or two ago,,
since then there has been two software programs offered that
I actually downloaded, the first one was not able to get
activated, but it was no big deal. Today's give away was
one that I really wanted to try. (Wondershare demo creator)
I decided I had to get the problem fixed.
Thanks for your help, I knew it had to be something simple,
I'm just not savvy enough to know where to look.
Thanks to all who took the time and effort to help out!!
This case for me is closed.
