I think I may have the answer. I had same problem and was able to solve it. I did have to change the resolution to 800x600 while the blank activation screen was open. The activation screen then partiality populated, could not see the activation button, but did see the license code box. Enter the license code in that box. You can not see the data you enter in the license code box so you may think it is not working but do it anyway. Then change resolution back to what you had originally, mine was. 1800 x 1060.
The activation screen should now show the license code and the activation button. Press the activation button, maybe more than once, and you should be all set.
