Can't sign up

[fasteddie uk2001]

I've been trying to sign up to AdWords all afternoon. I must have tried about a dozen times, but after I've jumped through all the hoops and click on the "I agree - Create my AdWords account" it gives me the following error. Is this just me, or has the sign-up been down for many hours? I can go through all the sign-up process until the last bit.

cheers

Often the ie internet options and how cookies are treated can cause a problem.

Thanks for you reply, but unfortunately I've tried 2 machines, 3 browsers and even and old dial up account. Ho hum, I suppose patience is a virtue!

Managed to sort it out in the end. Although the sign up process gives you the option of using your adsense login email and password, they wouldn't work. I've used a different address and it worked ok.

This is really good feedback, fasteddie uk2001 - which I'll pass on to the appropriate folks here at AdWords.

I had been exploring with the tech team what might be behind your problem, and this info will help us to get things in order.

Thanks again.
