64 bit has issues with other apos because Microsoft com and ole cannot load libraries across different bit ness. Don't get 64 unless you really need it like say you crunch spreadsheets that have a billion rows and need more than 2gb ram
 
Got mine with myspace.com. If you are having problems just redo your about me and any 'text' portions of your profile. I didn't have the 'virus code' in mine, but once I re did them my email worked properly. I also unchecked allow outside emails saved, and then rechecked it. It took 24 hours roughly, but it's working now.

I can't imagine many places allowing this domain to be valid since everyone took advantage of their free edu email addresses to get discounts on pretty much everything. I still can't believe they hand those addresses out to anyone.

Still getting bounce backs from myspace, tried to send myself an email from 10 diff email id's, all are getting rejected. MySpace sucks.
 
I just tried my work (.gov) email and it says I may be eligible..going to check when I go in tonight.

I tried everything too and changing text in about me worked. 5 minutes I had the email. thanks op and alkemyst!
 
My Fordham.edu email is good...I don't need it but it's a good deal.
IDK if it would technically be legal though because I don't work for them, but if it works, so what.

Nope, MySpace.com is a nightmare of a web site to work with. Looks like its geared to an 11 year old. Done everything alkemyst said with two separate accounts. Get a bounce back immediately. There is no reason the email should not work, defiantly a back-end issue. Oh well.

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

...@myspace.com

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 <...@myspace.com> recipient rejected (state 13).

if you did what I said and waited about 24 hours it should always work. Can you send email from the account? if so send an email to your main email account to whitelist it and also one to the microsoft email address.
 
Memo: to the three stooges- mvbighead,dougp & alkemyst..thanks for your unsolicted advice, after some consternation I used myspaced and after 48 hours was able to get my own copy . Keep up the good work gentlemen!

Easy.

Your work and/or educational institution must be under a contract with Microsoft - generally an Enterprise Agreement for corporations, and there's something similar for educational institutions. These agreements provide Home Usage Rights for software that is running on the users desktop (that they're licensed for in the office.) If your company buys boxed copies, or if they choose not to enable the HUR, then you can't access it at all.

I know this because I just activated HUR permissions for my company this morning.

Ironically, my outfit does does have an Enterprise Agreement with MS, but it may not include the HUR; it's a military language school of considerable size, but we just switched over to the .edu domain, so MS might not have us as such yet. I am able to get the academic pricing they've always offered, ($100 for Office 2010) but I was hoping to be able to get in on this deal. Sigh...

Speak with whomever handles your licensing. By default, HUR comes with all Enterprise Agreements - but it has to be enabled, and then you're limited to the software that's allowed within your EA (If you have Visio or Project.) They're also restricted to the number of people within the organization signed up for the EA, so at least 250.

Whoever does this through MySpace (and is not employee of theirs) is breaking terms of use for the program.
