You "may" have to change your machine Gestalt (ID). I had to change mine from 514 t0 510. There are free programs out there, i can't remember all, but two are wannabe and wishiwere. Check versiontracker. My expieriance with changing the gestalt is as follows>
1) It is not permanent. 2) My machine would revert to its original ID every time on restart or boot. Therefore i had to change the machine ID each time before doing anything with 9.2.
