I just registered my copy of VS2005 Standard Edition that I received at the VS2005 Launch. One of the benefits of registering is free icons, components, etc. When I try to go to the Registration Benefit Portal to download them I get a page stating that the page is missing or I lack authorization.
Is there a trick to this?

I encountered this same problem yesterday when I registered my copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite. However, when I returned today to the Visual Studio 2005 Registration Benefits Portal (accessed by clicking the "Registration Benefit Portal" link in my "Thank you for registering Visual Studio" confirmation e-mail), I was able to access the Portal without any problems. Sorry for any inconvenience here, but the problem appears to be fixed now.

I am pretty sure I should have access as I recieved the email with the link ;)
Is there something happening?
Hmm...I'm having no problem.
Which page/URL is causing the error?

I concur. Just installed the VB2005 Express and followed the registration benefits link from my confirmation/thank you email.

For anyone having problems accessing the registration benefits page, follow this link:

Nope that did nothing. 
Not so much of a registration benefit more of a frustration ....
The Connect portal had a fairly large upgrade applied early this week which may have been the reason for some of the denied access.
Anyone who is having problems accessing benefits can contact vsrghlp@microsoft.com for support. Please note the product you are trying to register and the email address that you used to register (i.e. where did your registration confirmation email go?)

Similar difficulty accessing the registration benefit portal here.
IE7 beta makes quite a bit of a racket - rapid clicking noises, flickers in time with the clicking noises and CPU Usage goes to 100% as displayed in Windows Task Manager
