I bought all 5 of vv games and once i get past the 1 hour free i am unable to enter the activation codes as the initial screen comes up with the two buttons to buy or unlock but nothing happens when i click on unlock!! it is worth mentioning that when the trial had started it also didnt work when i pressed the play button! the way i could start the game was to close the window but now the demo time is up nothing happens when i do that!!! please help im feeling very frustrated having paid for these games and not being able to play! im running windows 7 on the latest amd drivers.

many thanks

will

It is possible that either your browser's pop up blocker is blocking that window, or it is hiding behind other windows. Please allow pop ups in your browser momentarily and try it again, as well as looking behind all windows to make sure it's not hiding.

You may need to check to be sure that javascript is enabled in your default browser. If it is not, enable javascript, close the browser, then try the unlock button again. smile

Have you tried setting a different browser as the default browser & trying the activation again?

Unfortunately not.

If you don't mind, delete one of the games, re-download & install it, and try the activation again. smile

Unfortunately, my only other suggestion would be the Microsoft article mentioned in this post.

As you can see from that thread, we've encountered this only a few times before, and we have been unable to recreate the issue on our lab computers.

I vaguely remember this happening once to me. I think what I ended up doing was deleting/uninstalling both the demo AND the full version from my computer, making sure that there were no files left behind, especially saveGame files (could possibly be a little more involved if Windows System Restore is turned on, not sure though.), re-downloading the game and then was able to put in my activation code. I wish I remembered exactly. confused

Did you download your demos directly from ldw and purchase your games directly from ldw or another vendor?

will24k, I can assist you with that, but in order to do so, I will need you to reply to the email I sent you a few days ago, as we need the refund request on record there. Thank you!

I'm having the same problem! I spent too much money on this, and I'm disappointed it's not working. I would like a refund, as well. Is that possible?

All refund requests need to be made through our Support Form. In order to make the process easier for both parties, please include as much information as possible.

If you have already sent in a Support Form, I will get to you as quickly as I possibly can! Thank you! laugh
