...< another satisfied MS customer :-) >your not alone...lots of activation problems going on...do a search for it on this and other forums to see if you can find out some answers. I too had problems, but that was due to a bad code. Doesnt sound like you have a bad code to me <3 in a row?, nah>, especially if youve got passed the first screen where you enter the code and onto the connect screen.If the game will run for you in trial mode then its not an installation problem either so it sounds like it may be some sort of network related trouble...either on your end or theirs.Daveedit: umm, you probably re alize this already but just incase i thought id mention that you need to be logged in under an administrative account on your machine or else the game may not activate.

Dave, Thanks, I would think so, but I'm out of answers. And MS support well almost worthless so far... I have looked around and tried everythingI could find. I'm almost about to climb inside my computer and start destroying things... Okay just kidding... It has become depressing though... I've had MSX since 10-10-06 and have yet to get a copy to run. This is the first time I've had so many issues... Well one issue and that the activation code. So you think it might be on my end... Hmmm I will continue to look into it... Thanks again and happy flying, anyone else feel free to send me your ideas...

shot in the dark but have you shut off any antivirus apps?...and if you have a router did you try putting your machine in the dmz to make sure nothing is getting blocked in or out?Good luckDave

I have heard on another website that one person got past this same problem by reinstalling a fresh copy of windows! I hope I do not have to go to that extreme to get this working, that is not a workable solution.
