Hi there, I have a problem and I'm hoping someone can help. The computers not been well recently, I've reinstalled O/S and used a variety of bug killers and all seemed ok. Problem is that in the last week I've been prompted to reactivate windows four times due to hardware changes, in reality the hardware hasn't changed at all. However, now microsoft is giving me the 'too many activations' crap. I can't afford the $3,000 per second to bathe in the glory of their wisdom by phone or email. Any ideas on 1) activation and /or 2) why it was prompting me to do this in the first place?????
Thank you ...... sorry for the ramble. Lumpy X
