Make sure you have the latest version from our download page.

Your security settings may be too aggressive.  Port 443 must be open.

What's your default browser? Try setting it to IE.

It is the default browser....i had firefox installed before but have since removed it.  Would this be causing the problem and if so any suggestions for a fix?

Thanks
Much appreciated

Make sure you have a recent version of MC.  Download again if you're not sure.

Check your security settings.  A firewall could be preventing the transaction on port 443.

It is definitely a bug from the following situation.  If you uninstall Mozilla/Firefox as your default browser.  I used another machine to purchase it and it worked.

So if you have IE then install Mozilla/Firefox as your default browser and then uninstall it....it causes an issue.

Hope this helps out figuring out the issue.  I probably need to reinstall IE.
