Steven77 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yes. If you get an error message - keep refreshing, the key will sooner or later pop up.If you are redirected to the Windows 7 page - wait for Microsoft to fix their issues. So if i refresh and just get redirected to win7 page dont bother? Only if i get the error message will make it work??? I think thats what you mean.

wolfie Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yep I copied the link into the same window I had just signed into live with. That is when I it stopped going to the Windows 7 page and started just giving me the page error. I kept hitting F5 and then it worked after about 10 minutes.

cammy Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 OK for those who got it working, talk us through what you did. What page you signed into, with what you signed into with and then the process after that.
