Activation on XP 64-bit SP2

Hi everybody,

i am so disapointed...i thought that by now all the issues would be solved, but im still having a nightmare!! After all I went through to install the game, now i cant activate! is it because im on xp 64-bit?

I tried the soft anchor online activation and got the message:

"It would appear what you have attempted to enter is not a valid unlock key. To purchase an unlock key please visit:

http://www.sigames.com."

I didnt get any reply from anyone, even though i posted on another thread and PM two ppl, so im starting a new thread...

here's what happened:

downloaded fixv3 from the "activation issues thread" (i assume its the latest version and the name hasnt been changed for practicality reasons), installed, ran it, put in the correct license after i verified online i had all the characters right, and when i click "save file" i get an error box coming up saying:

************************************************** ***

Form1

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect

[details] [continue] [quit]

***********************************************

and i didnt forget to finish the writting in the second sentence, it says exactly that "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect"....

I click [continue] and it does nothing, does not create "request.txt" as it should...

My specs are:

Dell Precision M4400

Intel Core2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz

4.00GB RAM

NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M

can someone please help me? im starting to get desperate and i might just take the game back to the store and try to get my money back...

Thanks in advance for whoever tries to gimme a hand with this!

I can tell you it IS NOT because you're on XP x64bit mate. I use the same OS as my main operating system and have no problems with FM at all. sorry I can't be more help but at least now you know it isn't related to XP x64.

Try that site to get the correct code. Type in what you think it is and it should return the proper code.
