Hi Mark -- I am still fighting with microsoft's live id signup. Seems no
matter what I do I end up going in circles, ending up right back where I
started with no login. I was so aggravated I am just returning from a
break
from the keyboard... I have wasted yesterday and much of today on and
off
trying to do a simple signup operation on live.com. I even am able to
hear
the audio captchas, but even so, I still can't complete the process. My
learning curve appears to be a circle as they say.
So if anyone has any choice words.. (um, I mean helpful comments) I would
be
very grateful if it solves the problem.
Note that it might be a problem on the microsoft site itself, as last
night
there was a message coming up that said due to technical difficulties new
signups could not be processed. I haven't seen that message today, but I
still am on this merry-go-round.
TIA all and happy hacking.

Laura,
I had exactly the same problem as yourself, although I was trying to get
hold of the 2008 version. I did eventually manage to obtain an ISO file
of
all modules, which I still have. Obviously I appreciate that's not a
great
deal of use to you as you're after 2010. I'll keep trying and get back to
you, although I daresay someone will beat me to it.
Mark

Subject: visual studio 10 express
I have been trying to download VC++ express 2010 from the Microsoft site
and
I've run into a problem that I can't seem to work around.
The website is slow, except when I get to the part of interest, where I
select a language to download. I get the little popup from IE saying it
has
blocked something, and I hit the jaws command alt+n to see what was
popping
up. It was a download button. So I pressed it. Nothing happened -- it
vanished and I was taken to a page with instructions on how to register
my
copy.
Now my problem is this: no matter what I do I can't get to that
download --
nothing is ever downloaded and I end up going in circles on their site.
Is
this normal? I know people on this list are using VS express and can
maybe
clear up this annoyance. The page I start at is
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/default.aspx
I click on download or VC++ or whatever -- I've tried them all.
You can tell I'm getting crazy with this site.
TIA for any assistance!
