trouble entering license code

This does NOT work.  The problem is that the Activation window comes up (eventually), but does not allow us to enter the license code.  

By the way, your support is very frustrating!  I have been trying for 2 days to get Turbo Tax to work.

trouble entering license code

TT window won't let me key in the license key!

 

The pointer or mouse cannot be moved or/and placed into the License code box to enter the key!

 

I re-installed it, removed the product, re-installed it, checked Windows 10 updates, etc.  more than 5 times and is is still acting the same.  TT wanted to run updates, and then entering license key to activate it!

 

This is the latest Windows 10 with i7 CPU and 16G HP PC. New from the last Christmas.

Another user posted this fix.  See if it works for you -

 

  • change your resolution to 800 x 600 (start>setting >system resolution. once it's been changed, your screen size will look very big. REMEMBER your initial resolution setting!
  • launch TT and the activation screen should launch.  copy / paste in your activation code. you should get the 'all set' green check mark
  • change your resolution back to what is was originally.

COULD NOT AGREE MORE. Very frustrating HOWEVER I found that if I leave the mouse pointer in the window for the license code and “blindly” and carefully type the license code (it doesn’t show the typing) then select the button on bottom right (activate , I believe) it does work. I did not find ANY of the TurboTax help to be any assistance

The screen code is blank after installation. 

How can I enter the code when the box is blank?
