easy resolution. you dont even have to buy anything. follow the instruction as outlined on the page but instead choose to activate it over the telephone. you'd need to enter your current location and then a number will be displayed for you to call. when you call, YOU MUST TELL THEM THAT YOU HAVE NOT USED THAT COPY OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM ON ANY OTHER MACHINE. TELL THEM THAT THE LAPTOP WAS BOUGHT PRE-INSTALLED AND READY TO USE. The above has never failed me. i do it regularly. but before you try the above, make sure you have typed in the correct licence key. |

oyb: can you please explain how I'm going to eat him up? i don't remember posting a phone number or a link asking for his details. by the way, disabling automatic updates is another option but it makes ur laptop an easy prey as it will not have all the critical security updates such as SP3 if you running XP windows. you will also not have the last version of Internet explorer. |

I dont know if you will like to hear the gospel truth, I was faced with similar issue but just resolve my own last week, what u need to do is back up or copy all application and software to a flash drive or another hard disk, and then format your laptop,and then ensure you disable automatic update and dont ever install any update |
