Get the authentic CDKey from the bottom of your laptop (you paid for the license with the purchase of your PC) and use it to activate/register your copy of Windows. You might need to call Microsoft to activate the license key, but that's just a small price to pay (15 minutes tops) for not having any crapware installed. Grab the drivers from the manufacturer's website first (especially the network card driver, either wireless or ethernet).ex_techMon, 09 Apr 2007 21:18:23 -0000
