trouble is with the HP Mini1000 there are no lan ports

1195352 2011-04-18 01:30:00 It can be done by phone - see here support.microsoft.com linw (53)
1195353 2011-04-18 01:34:00 Yes this is true but,
when I click on Yes it doesn't get any further.
Which leads me to believe that the os is confused.
I'll backup & reinstall.

Are you sure? The one I have here has an ethernet port.

1195356 2011-04-18 01:46:00 To clarify when I click on Yes to activate I get an error:

Microsoft Feeds Synchronization has encountered a problem and needs to close.

and then when I click on Dont Send, I get nothing, just the error repeating

1195357 2011-04-18 01:57:00 Sounds like it had IE8 on it and after doing a repair install it has tried to go back to IE6 which causes this problem with Windows Activation. CYaBro (73)
