The activation screen on TurboTax Deluxe does not open up. Just shows a blue dot. How do I activate this product?

This is the Windows product.  I've reinstalled from CD twice and even tried downloading the product from Turbo Tax.  I still can't activate it.

It may be related to a screen resolution or scaling problem.

In your Windows settings do you have scaling set to a higher value than the normal 100%?

Read through the following thread and see the various recommendations there:

If not a scaling problem, then try a screen resolution of 800x600.

Scaling worked for me also.  My standard scaling is 125% because the characters are very small otherwise.  I set the scaling to 100%, closed TurboTax, started it again and everything was perfect.
