Re: visual studio 10 express

Please note that I have only tested the following steps in Internet Explorer 6. Later versions should work too. However, I wasn't able to replicate the outcome in Firefox. 

With your Internet Explorer loaded:
1
Go to www.live.com

2
sign into your windows live account. Please remember that your user name is your entire hotmail or windows live address. 

3
Once you're signed in, on the first page, There are two links, labelled
options.
Please click on the first option link.

4
On the following page, find and activate the link labelled
password.

The page title on the next page is
change your password.
There is one form on this page with the fields for your old and new passwords, plus the choice, (presented as a checkbox), to automatically have your password expire after 72 days. 

5
Fill in the form (with your old and new passwords).

6. Press the button labelled
save.
If the password is successfully updated then you should get the following message on the next page: 
Your information has been saved.
This will appear under the heading
Account Overview.

HI Jonn,
Thanks for this. I've actually already got an MSN Live ID. I'd be interested though if you could send instructions on re-setting the Passcode.

Hi Mark and Laura
If you like I can sign you up individually with msn live and send you your respective usernames and passwords. I'll also send you step-by-step instructions on changing your passcode. 
This applies to anyone else having the same problem. Feel free to
give me a shout if you need a hand.
John

Believe me I know how it feels to go round in circles with MS - I've run into that situation so many times I've lost count. I'll keep working on it and let you know - and if you find a solution before me, I'd be really interested to hear.

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.

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!
