Thursday Oct 2: Before you work on your projects, or continue with amkeup work!

Greetings, fellow code monkeys!

It has come to my attention that many of you are being prompted to "activate" your copy of Visual Basic. I was having the same problem, and I fixed it. Here is how you do it (and hopefully it will work for you too!):

A) Go to www.hotmail.com, and then click on the SIGNUP button in the middle of the screen

B)On the next page underneath the words "Windows Live Hotmail" click the GET IT button

C)On the next page fill in all the necessary information, and be sure to set the email type to HOTMAIL -- I cannot guarantee that a live.com account will work

D)Click the I ACCEPT button to bring you to your new account

E) LEAVE YOUR NEW HOTMAIL ACCOUNT OPEN

F) Turn on Visual Basic and when that thing near the system clock comes up to "activate" Visual Basic, click on it

G) This should bring you to a webpage where you have to fill out a form, complete with your new hotmail address, and then submit the form

H) You should receive an "activation code" and instructions on how to use it in your new hotmail inbox.

I) Follow the instructions, and let's see if we can solve this problem

Once we are done with this, I will be continuing to make last minute updates to your grades, and you will be working on your new projects BEFORE THE END OF THE CLASS, you will need to ake a new discussion posting talking about the progress you have made on this new project. When you make the discussion posting, please put todays date in the subject line, along with "Project Progress" plus your name.

Cheers,

Mr. L
