yes your right, I'm as much complaining as seeking advice. but really, how
stupid when an update of the driver for the usb connection to the mobile
phone triggers re-activation. previously this installation of vista64
ultimate has seen the replacement/upgrade of a hdd, and i think the upgrade
of a processor (amd64 3800+ to 4600+), without triggering re-activation.
regardless, when booted today, vista has decided it no longer needs to be
re-activated.
lol
