March 27, 200916 yr How Do I Fix Product Key Issue? =============================== I bought and built my computer from scratch. It was a couple of years already but I remember it was from EggHead online. Ah, but it did not go smoothly. I was not used to all the chips and connections and such. But I decyphered the instuctions and I got it put togehter. And it did not run. It took days and the days became weeks. I had to resort to to doing a lot of trial and error and calling up everyone who made each individual part. I considered that it might be my genuine Microsoft Vista installation CD Itself since this was where the process was croaking. So I found another OS CD to give it a try. It still did not work and so I began focusing on other problems. In the end, it turned out to be the hard drive which was still under warentee and I shipped back and the Egg Heads replaced it. Ta-Dah!! Eureka!! I had a working computer. But in the confusion, did you see, perhaps, where I took a wrong, but all to human and innocent, turn? I put an operating system on my computer from a CD that I did not buy!!! The HORROR!!! But the time I noticed that there made a confused switch and the CD that I bought was back at work and I had the one from work at home, I had moved on to another contract and I could not fix the error. I have a genuine product key. I need to change the product key I typed in when I first installed the OS to the right one. How do I do this?

They probably also have for Vista. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem." - Doreen Valiente
