I dont know if this is in the right place, but i could find an appropriate place, and since it's about the internet...

I have tried to get an account on the Corel website so i can get Corel Paint Shop Pro X from the site.
I have got an account now but it isnt validated by my e mail. I get an e mail asking me to click on a link to validate and then i do, and it shows a page from Corel, saying that the account activation failed and to check i have the right address, which i do.
I dont know if anyone else has got an account on Corel, but if you have, did you experience that problem? Or is anyone experiencing it?


Thanks.

Does anyone else have any suggestions??

[Mile Runner]

do you know if the page you are trying to veiw is supposed to be viewed over a secure connection?

[samboo1]

It was over a secure connection, yeah.
Anyway, i never got it to work for me, but i did it on a friend's computer using her e-mail and it worked fine, now i have an account. Still puzzles me how it never worked on my PC, but i came to the conclusion that (although it never said anything about it) the site didnt accept hotmail/yahoo e-mail addresses, since my friend's wasnt a hotmail/yahoo e-mail, and i also tried other e-mails of mine, all being hotmail, which does support my theory.

Thanks anyway
