Fictionwise just said that I needed to download the latest version of MS Reader and activate it. The MS website also said that I already had the latest version and that it was activated. I went to the manual activation page and it refused to take my login. OK, I've forgotten passwords in the past. No combination of email addresses and passwords that I have used in the last few years worked (including the one I had written down for the .NET login. They also would not send me the password as they rejected every email I offered. (I did each one twice as I do not mix up the distorted letters/numbers that often.)
I checked Google and it seems that MS is on a tear to purge everyone of their genreic email accounts except their generic email accounts (hotmail and live.) They are also rejecting major ISPs like Verizon, AOL, Cox, and Comcast as well as private ones such as domains that you may own or educational organizations. I logged into a generic LIVE site using my developer ID (the one that was rejected a few minutes before) and went to account settings. I then opened another tab and went to the manual MS Reader activation page and activated the MS reader. Everything worked fine.
I hope this helps.
