I'm sure it was their rollout fix that caused it ... except it was not a cracked version and when I finally got past all their crap it activated just fine. However I bet all the actual software pirates have cracked the new update already.

Yes XP SP3. In thinking back I did change the hardware (added a new virtual CD drive) so maybe that caused it. But this infinite loop of activation obviously has occurred before (google it) and I don't get why they don't have a fix for it. The fix I did was for a different activation problem...

I received the following from IB tonight. I get that you need to close out physical deliveries. And I get that sometimes people mess up and forget to close them out. But I do not understand why: 1. IB cannot pin it down to a specific position 2. IB cannot pin it down to a specific date...

It was actually a virtual machine and I had a copy of it from the prior week (and nightly backups of all the data), but the copy also decided it needed to be activated. I assume Microsoft changed something on their servers?

Just a warning, this weekend I rebooted and Windows XP suddenly decided it needed to be activated again. Expect it then decided it was already activated and went into a loop where it would go from one message about needing activation to another where it said it was activated. The final...

Remember just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean people aren't out to get you. There is definitely a lot of hype but I read it as more of a chance to get yourself associated with helping people as opposed to doing absolutely nothing (which is what most congress members are associated with)

Now you made his "People to Shoot in the Face" list as well.

You should be waterboarded then shot in the face with Cheney's shotgun :D :D :D

I am not clear -- if your gas pedal is stuck, why can't you shift to neutral or turn off the car? Did the problem prevent that too? Maybe it did, but if not why not do those things (unless you are in a panic)? Even if it ruins your engine, that's better than driving out of control.

We should get Chinese on their asses, remove their organs and then execute them.

If Cheney wasn't laid up in the hospital he'd fire a shotgun in the face of one of these guys.

You'll need to take Penn's brass knuckles too :D

Typical scaremongering. Cheney Death Panels anyone?

Steve I know customer service is not IB's best feature (no insult intended) but it would have been useful to notify us......and is there any way to opt out of this?

Even if you hide your millions with UBS in Switzerland? :D :D :D

Nobody has any comments on the SideShowBob Tax Shelter????

I discovered today in trying to track down my 1099 from one of my RJO Futures accounts that I was not getting one because all the trades made in that account were on non-US exchanges. While I will now have to go through my account statements to get the exact profit/loss numbers for 2009 it got...

You are correct, the original poster should prepare to be waterboarded and/or have a body cavity search. Or both at the same time.

The main reason I don't buy any of the government conspiracy theories is that our government is just too incompetent to pull off much of anything.

Former VP Cheney hospitalized, resting comfortably http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100223/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_cheney_hospitalized The question is, how will the death panels vote on Cheney???
