If you use Firefox to download WGA protected files via the FF plugin can you check if it still works for you.

Since yesterday, I have had to download an exe and punch in a code.

Try this download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

The method you are describing is the only one I have ever known to exist. Perhaps they recently updated the WGAplugin and the old one won't work?

There are two ways: the WGA plug-in and the "Alternate method" at the bottom of the page where you download a small .exe file which checks your system and produces a code which you enter in a box on the web page. I also know that the code expires after some time and you can't reuse it.

Anyway, -X- is right; the WGA plug-in in Firefox didn't work for me either. It redirected me to the other method. But the alternate method is still available and working. Or you can just use IE :yes:

.

Cheers
