Composer, I fixed you up...check you pm.

 

[gavinsdaddy1912]

ok cool...does it seem to give them more in a certain browser?

 

[z3r010]

I had more luck with firefox but that might be just luck.

The 64bit link just seems to redirect to Welcome to Windows 7 every time... I've been trying on and off for 16 hours now with no luck. Ugh.

Not for me, make sure you are signed in with your live account.

Ok, weird. For whatever reason, rebooting helped a little. At least now I get the error page instead of being redirected to the welcome page. I've got 10 tabs open and will keep trying. Thanks.

 

[limneos]

It happened to me a few times, I had to close all IE windows and re-open them, it kept not signing me in.

 

[badger]

Hmm... ok. What's weirder was that it did show me as signed in previously. It said "Welcome, (me)" at the top of the TechNet site, as well as the live.com site. Oh well. Live and learn and reboot often! LOL
