1372152 2014-04-11 12:27:00 Activation doesn't seem to work for me. Installed a new Video card, had to reactivate, but unfortunately the numeric code I need to give on the phone is blank.... doh. 3 more days to solve this problem

This problem can be overcome on W7 by using a program called "Loader 7". This repairs the activation.
For XP there is "remove WAT". Although this allows Windows to continue it is not acceptable to Microsoft Security or Updates and also removes the Genuine Windows logo.

1372155 2014-04-13 21:59:00 Got it sorted.
It appeared the system needed to be powered off and then booted. Restarting wasn't enough
Thank you to whoever caused that power cut Friday morning for helping me figure this out.
