Country Change?
I'm Canadian and I've had a Zune since before they were released here. So when I signed up to "the social" I had to tell it I was in America. Now, because of this, I'm being forced to abandon my old account and start a new one? When I try to log in through the zune software I'm told that I have to change the location of my computer. Why won't you just let me change the country of my account instead of making me create a new one? Would that really be so difficult? Is there some option I'm missing here?

Hey there.

I'm not sure how to fix that particular problem, but I saw this forum post that may help. (it's sounds like it has a chance)

In short below:

Finally got logged.  Went to Regional and language settings in control panel.  It did say united states on the Region but went into language for non unicode programs.  Somehow that had gotten changed from English (united states) to some foreign language.  Changed it.  Rebooted computer and no problems. 

I hope this is remotely helpful.  Cheers.

Thanks, that worked for me!  I still think its a bit silly that I have to claim my computer is in another country rather than just changing the location in my account but oh well.
