If you have done anything else hardware wise to the machine you may have to reactivate Windows. If I recall correctly, Windows will let you make two hardware changes to a machine and then it decides you are trying to use their software illegally. If you haven't upgraded the machine before, you will have to have the COA and enter that. I have had to call Microsoft before to validate the operating system on a computer I had done some work to. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/activating-windows-frequently-asked-questions http://searchitchannel.techtarget.com/feature/How-Windows-7-hardware-upgrades-affect-licensing Rick Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
