Default Windows Activation Error


I get the error code 0x8004FC12
I did a system restore recently if that has anything to do with it. I have
24 days to activate and the product ID is not the one on my case.

Did you install any anti-virus before activating. I read on some forums that
causes trouble sometimes.

No, I don't have any anti-virus software whatsoever.

I guess the server was down or something because it just worked.

Too bad this probably won't help all the blue screens I get.

Can anyone help me out with something else? After I did the system restore,
it seems like the stuff that was there wasn't deleted and I have 30GB of
space missing that is unaccounted for. Could this be due to blue screen
memory dumps also?
