There seems to be a point in the draftsight activation process that alot of people have issues with, but it not specifically addressed by the troubleshooting pdf.

Once the program is installed, it repeatedly asks you to enter in your email address etc. However the reassuring "thank you for activating" message never pops up, and then no corresponding activation email is ever received. 

Does anyone have any ideas in what could prevent the installation from accepting the form info filled out and saying an email was sent??

NOTE: This is a different issue that spam filters etc when people don't receive an email activation. This is just before that point.

I have tried installing in safe mode with network access, with and without anti-virus on, checking the Internet Explorer settings as per guide, etc. Does anyone know how the installation program forwards the request for an activation out?? Does it use SMTP??

It seems to be security setting in the OS somewhere because I have been able to activate draftsight on several other computers with no issues at all.

Note: Running Windows 7 Pro x64
