Windows Activation HUGE PROBLEMS
"Triforce564" wrote in message news:47e81381-08df-4c51-81f5-ddb55ab3eb4e... So I have/had a genuine version of Windows 7. One day, I accidentally spill water on my comp, and fry my motherboard. V.V. SO I get a new one. Then, about a month later, I get messages about Activating Windows and how it's not genuine and all that, and now it's saying that I might be a victim of software counterfeiting. I try to activate windows with my product key, and it says it's not for the United States or something. ???. So I try the genuine check and go to troubleshooting. It says "Have you recently repaired your PC?". I click on it because it applies to my situation, and it says that a hardware change could make the activation stuff not work, and I'm like "OK so what do I do?" In the next row it says "None of these 'SUGGESTIONS' have helped. What else can I try?" What suggestion? All you did is tell me that could affect it, so what do I do? Take out my broken motherboard, install it on my case, and then magic happens? Seriously? This makes no sense. Someone please help! To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) Once saved, run the tool. Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report. To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response. - **in your own thread**, please Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine, but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker! http://www.microsoft.com/howtotell/content.aspx?pg=coa Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth

Generallly, changing the motherboard means it's a new computer and will not be validated. Renee"MODERN PROGRAMMING is deficient in elementary ways BECAUSE of problems INTRODUCED by MODERN PROGRAMMING." Me

Renee That depends on a number of factors including whether the original install was an OEM License or not. Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth
