Hi, I have tried unsuccessfully to register 2 new notebooks for the Vista Express Upgrade over the past few days. I have been using this link:

https://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vis...spx?oem=&Lang=

It has just crashed at different points and I am concerned about missing the cutoff. Has anyone successfully registered a Toshiba or Acer machine recently? If so, any alternative url's or tips?

many thanks, Darren

You need to keep trying, the site is a nightmare, all vendors are using it so doesn't matter what vendor you've got.

If you call the vendors helpdesk and give out reems then Microsoft have supplied vendors with the upgrade disks to deal with customers who lose the plot over using Modus Media's crap website.

I'm in the trade so trust me this works.

Hope that was of use.

I'm also having huge problems with my "free" Vista order for my Toshiba laptop.

ModusLink are the most incompetent company I've ever witnessed. I first ordered my upgrade in February and still they haven't processed it.

now the latest email they've sent me says that my order has been cancelled .

Purchased a new Toshiba in February with Vista Ultimate installed. No probs with registration. Also extended Toshiba warranty without probs. They also confirmed the extension by email.
