| Do you have a valid (authentic) version of windows on your com? If so, validate. If not, turn the updates off. I don't know when the last time was that you got updates, but it's pretty std for the folks at ms to require that of users these days. |

easy enough.
AS LONG AS THE COPY IS A LEGITIMATE COPY, call windows up WITH THE PRODUCT ID IN HAND and tell them you reformatted your drive. They will issue you a new product ID right there on the spot...
THAT IS....AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A LEGITIMATE COPY! |
