I've been on Geekzone over 16 years..... Time flies....
Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.
CYaBro: Not as bad as one of my customer's Vista Home Premium OEM install.
Had been running fine for about two years then all of a sudden it changed the background and said that it wasn't genuine.
Trying to activate again would bring up an error saying you need to put in the DVD and reinstall the operating system!
Managed to find a fix for it and then put in the product key again, from COA sticker on the case, and it was fine again.

?
The answer is obvious: linux
Better than ever.?
I'm not trolling...
It's a valid answer to this and many other issues...and I embraced it more than a decade ago. It was a hassle at first at times....but distros like Ubuntu make Windows look too hard.?
Audiophiles are such twits! They buy such pointless stuff: Gold plated cables, $2000 power cords. Idiots.
OOOHHHH HYPERFIBRE!

freitasm: Was this the first time this copy was installed?
Nety: @wreck90 you have still not told us why it took 1.5 hours? I have dealt with activation many many times and have never had significant issues. Usually as mentioned by richms if it does not work off the automated system normally just confirming that it is not on any other machine is enough and they will provide the correct code.
