im getting no luck with ther refresh trick..damn, i dunno if i can be bothered anymore. i'll just crack the damn thing

Would it be: https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/productkeys/win7-32/enus/default.aspx for the 32bit one? I don't really want to format this install to have 64bit.

With check4change do i have to manually set it up for all 10 tabs? And i see no option that mentions navigating.

I set the desired options and right click on a tab and when i choose 3 seconds:
"Please enter the text...."

What am i doing wrong?

EDit... hmm am i using a different app... lol

you have to highlight text in the page

I highlight this:

The site is currently experiencing technical difficulties, please check back in the next business day.

as soon as the page no longer say that it alerts you

Cheers! Was totally doing it wrong.. Do you have to do this for each tab or is there a quick setting for it?

Which URL are you using in firefox?

I used https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/scripts/gcs.aspx?Product=tn-win7-64-ww&LCID=1033 and just get to a microsoft page

It works in IE7 but not firefox.

if you are getting redirected to the windows 7 page or the main MS page it's because you are not logged in.

if you are using 2 browsers you need to login in both of them so the cookie is there

ja3h · 10 Jan 2009 at 11:37

Breakfast time! I'll leave it running and see what happens!

Where does one login?

Why dont people just use the re-arm command. Is there any obvious benefit, you can still send crash reports back, and send feedback?

Am I missing something obvious?

TheSwede · 10 Jan 2009 at 11:40

Yes! Finally I got the key after been trying since 6PM yesterday.. not all time though.. I added the FireFox addon, Check4Change, and I had the key 5 minutes later!

Sign in top right

Once you are logged in then use
https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperi...4-ww&LCID=1033

But I would open firefox and use check4 change on about 30 tabs. then go watch a film and wait for the sound.
