Hi, I have a major problem here. I downloaded the visual express 2008 edition from msn. Took a month to get a hotmail account because it kept giving me error reports about a daily limit or something but now the thirty days is up and I finally have a hotmail account and can't register it. It says to go to help/register but all I'm getting is a popup telling me I need to register---no help menu displayed whatsoever. I followed the link on the popup to register and it is only for the sql server. Anybody have any ideas what to do on this one?
Thanks much.

Just as I know,Visual Express 2008 C++ is free,and ,it is well known that Visual C++ is a part of Visul Studio,so you can download Visul Studio Express 2008 from here:

There is no date limited about Visul Studio Express 2008(My English is not good,I am a chinese student,Are you clear about what I said?)

You say no date limitation......the program would not open for me. It said I needed to register it but unless it opened I had no way to get to the help file to register..btw---your English is real clear-thanx
