I have had Windows XP Home installed for well over a year, and now I get the
following message EVERY TIME I turn on my computer:
"Since Windows was first activated on this computer, the hardware on the
computer has changed significantly. Due to these changes, Windows must be
reactivated within 3 days.
Do you want to reactivate Windows now?"
Well, naturally, I clicked NO. However, this insidious message kept
recurring. I have
even been threatened to have Windows inoperable if I don't "reactivate"
within the
3-day time limit.
I eventually tried to cooperate with "big brother". However, for some reason
known
only to my computer, this script cannot connect to the internet (even though
I
have no trouble doing it myself). I then tried the phone connection, only to
receive
a busy signal every time I try it.
Is this really true? Can I have Windows disappear in three more days if I
don't
agree to this blackmail?
I received Windows XP when I bought my computer, and activated it at that
time.
How can it be taken away from me after over a year without my consent???
Something is definitely wrong here.
