MS Activation issue
Ok, I searched the forums and couln't find this anywhere. Last week, I had to do a hard reset on my ax. No probs there, it actually went smoothly. I wanted to start from scratch so I didn't do a backup. I had all my programs and plugins saved in a folder on my desktop so getting the ax back to where it was wasn't a big deal.
Now this is my question. I went to Reader activation page, and I get to where they say sign in with your passport account. I click on that and sign in. I then get back to the previous page, and I thought the last time I activated reader, there was a button "activate now" or something like that. There is nothing. If I click on click here to start activation it say I am already signed in as ______. I am at a lost. I have a folder of ebooks I want to read and I can't get the darn thing activated.
Any help would be appreciated.

PS Happy Halloween!!!

Are you trying to activate your Axim on the PDA itself or on the desktop PC? If you do it on the desktop and Axim is connected then you should have two options - 'activate desktop PC' and 'activate Pocket PC'. These are large button in the middle of the screen.
Hope this helps

Slezor,
That is the way I thought the page was. I am trying to activate it through my desktop. I have my ax in the cradle, all cables are hooked up, syncing with activesync no problem, but those two darn buttons won't show up for me. It seems like I can sign in no problem, but it keeps sending me back to the same page without the activation buttons. This is making me very irrate. Especially since I just got my wifi all in order and everything else on my ax is just how I want it.

Thanks for you help though

Try clearing the temporary internet files. If that does not work, try looking for the cookie that the msreader site creates, delete that, and then try again.
