But the MS web site says to remain there until I receive a confirmation, and it never comes back with a confirmation.
I tried installing an ebook from Amazon, but it says there is a problem with the reader or activation.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling reader and the activation numerous times but always have the same problem.
I tried the same process on my laptop and the activation went fine.
I called MS and they said it was a known issue with Windows Mobile 5.0.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any known workarounds?
Thanks

John:
These are different symptoms than are found with the WM 5.0 issue that has been posted so much about of late. So we may be able to resolve this issue sooner. Are you using IE on this machine? Also do you know if you have your browser settings to disallow any downloads or activex controls to run? This might make a difference in whether you can complete activation. Give this a try.
Open IE
Go to Tools | Internet Options
Click on the security tab
Choose Medium settings and then click on reset
Close your browser and attempt to activate again.
If you are not using IE on your desktop or Laptop to activate please try using IE. If neither of these solutions are sucessful please post back here and I will do my best to help you resolve your issue.
Sincerely,
Christine - Microsoft Reader Team
