It did do you want me to try again?

Delete the temp account and create a new one.

Use my email address and the password with it, then go into the store and try to download.

Hey Sethos/Drunkn, did you both download the 200kb Wipeout unlock file yeah?

Dirk downloaded Wipeout from me and I think he forgot to download it, now it says 5 systems are in use and won't let him download it :/

Yeah, I downloaded the 100kb (!!!! :p ) 'Full Game Unlock' file.

Just to update the Warhawk info. Not only does it use the 24hr account rule, you can only play the game when using the original account that bought it. So even after you share it with someone, you have to let them use your account.

Just thought I'd add that bit of info so it can be updated on the first page or whatever (Y)

No luck. It says the same thing.

... Sigh.

What does this mean has happened to the activation then?

If it was active for you to download Wipeout, then not afterwards.

Only people who have downloaded on my account

CY:G tried but he said it came up saying all 5 activations used (he tried after you had started downloading).

Can you download anything else from the store?

Yeah yeah I know lol. But still, it's only to check the game out for a few hours to see if I like it. Would be crap if this was a proper swap like the others tonight.

King has a retail copy of the game too and says he'll sell it for ?15 if I like it. Not gonna be able to try it out until I get home tomorrow night though. Too tired for it tonight.

It let me download Wipeout again but that is it. I tried Siren but the same message came up.

When you go to download Wipeout is the option of a 200kb file not there as well?

It is right there under it but it won't let me download it. This sucks. lol.

If your PS3 isn't active any more then who's is?

I'm probably gonna need to phone Sony and de-activate everyone...

Maybe try de-activating your own PS3 account, then trying to activate mine on your PS3?

Or even just turning on/off the PS3?

I'll try helping in the morning man, I got uni in like 9 hours, gotta get some sleep.

Sorry about whatevers happening, but I have no idea :/

If only you had downloaded that damn unlock file at the same time haha, but we'll get this sorted (Y)

I'll leave my PSN password what it's at just now, and you can try everything you can think of to get stuff downloading! Even changing the password about, but if you do, remember what you change it to :laugh:

Alright man I'll try. Thanks again.

Yea none of that worked. Hopefully we will get it sorted out tomorrow.

Okay plan. I just de-activated my system.

Go in and download that 200kb file and install it, then de-activate afterwards and see if it plays!

Ok I went and downloaded it and it worked fine. Then I went and deactivated my system and tried playing again and it gives me the thing about missing a key again. Do you want me to go activate my system again and see if you can activate yours?

Does this also work for games that were not bought online, but rather the physical Blu-Ray copies? And if someone feels like sharing WipEout HD, please send it this way. :D

Only for downloaded games unfortunately, and not all of them at that, such as Warhawk.

Ok. I'm activated and signed out of your name and t works. Let me know. Also thanks for staying up a little while longer and helping me.

Nah, now I'm blocked out of playing my games :/

An invites gone missing or screwed up somewhere.

CY:G said it definitely didn't work for him, and it worked for you downloading Wipeout, then stopped :/

Enjoy some Wipeout just now whilst I sleep, but I'm probably going to have to phone Sony and try to get them to reset my PS3 now.

I'll sort something out tomorrow.

    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104

      By Copernic · Posted

      O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • New Site Moderation

      By +Edouard · Posted

      In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
