Installed Windows 8 on a new build. When I try to replace the Microsoft Account sign-on with a PIN, Windows tells me that an error has "prevented capture of your PIN. Try again later." ... or words to that effect. And, of course, "later" never comes!:(

Any ideas about what is going on? I've successfully done this on other installs with no issues.
