Hi meryl, I cannot see that you are doing anything wrong at all. There is a video here that shows the sign-on process (completely ignore the Facebook option in the sign-in). I would agree that trying another web browser is a good idea. I have a GOG account and have never had any problems using Firefox.

Have you checked your "Junk" or "Spam" mail, it happens often enough than legit mail will be received normally in your Inbox, but that same mail will sometimes get tagged as junk mail. This has happened to me on several occasions in the past.
When you say it does not accept your User Name, do they give an explanation as why it does not accept it? I know when I create an account somewhere and put in a User Name it will tell me that the User Name is already taken, so you either have to choose another UN or add a Number to it.
Just curious, what kind or type of "User Name" are you trying to use? Some companies or sites have trouble accepting Off the Wall User names like "Pooky!"/$Bear23", they often just go with simple User Names.
And I agree Marian and Draclvr, GOG is usually quick to answer and I never any problems with them.
Good luck.

I cleared cache in all 3 browsers (though not cookies or browsing history) and tried in Chrome this morning to open a Gog account. Same result. Would clearing cookies help do you think? I'll chase up Gog anyway.
Nothing in Spam or other folders. I do check these fairly regularly.

No worries, Drac. The sign-in I was pointing meryl to has nothing to do with Facebook - the sign-in is under that option, towards the bottom of the page. I would never suggest anyone sign in with Facebook either. I am really sorry that did not work for you, meryl. If I can think of anything else to try, I will let you know.
