331871 2005-03-08 10:03:00 Windows just asked me to reactivate it because I think it said I had significantly changed my hardware. I havnt changed anything since I got my new PC! :@@:
Why did it ask me to re-activate?
Thanks
Mike

331872 2005-03-08 10:10:00 If youve just reformatted, it will ask you to re activate Windows. Does it everytime ... trust me on that Myth (110)

331874 2005-03-08 18:09:00 its a pre-emptive Operating System isnt it :lol: sorry couldn't resist.
Have you made any changes IE support packs or critical updates from the MS site. I believe I read somewhere if you have a preinstalled os i.e. one that was preactivated when you brought it then one of the microsoft updates will cause that. Microsoft now require/ask that preinstalled/activated os be activated again. There was a article about it but I cant remeber where I read it sorry
