Yep!
Alt+n to put focus on the notification bar and then press space to bring up a
list of options.
Download should be the first item in the list.
And yes you are required to registrer VS to continue to use it.
There are no ways around that - if you don't registrer within 21 days (i think)
VS will stop working or revert to a very limited IDE.
And yes the registration process requires you to create a Windows Live ID if
you don't already have one.

Hi Laura,
The link you click to try to start the download. I think that when you get the
menu, you have to hit Space to get it to say something.

Hi Jim -- thanks -- but which link? also, I already did the alt+n command
and got the little menu, but it vanished before I had a chance to click on
anything.
The scenario is that I get to a page that asks for the language, and I
choose english -- but the minute I'm out of that combo box, a link is
activated that tries to pop up something. That is where I find the little
menu, the top of which is a download option. But as I said, it doesn't last.
I get sucked immediately into a registration process that frankly is
confusing in that it requires me to have a microsoft live id. I don't, so I
have to create a login and go through all that. It requires me to enter the
password of that id.
What is this id? The browser filled in my email address, but no way am I
going to type in my password there.
Sorry. This shouldn't be such a pain.

Hi Laura,
Try Shift Enter on the link. Also, if nothing happens, try Alt N. You may
get a menu of choices.

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!
