/RANT ON
I am getting so tired of WPA. So far, I have had to activate this machine 5
times. Once was for a legitimate hardware change (Motherboard died). The
other 4 are for Significant hardware changes THAT ARE NOT OCCURING. This is
driving me nuts. I changed the speed of my RAM once in BIOS.. Oh.. Please
reactivate. I upgraded a card.. oh... reactivate. Today.. I get home from
work.. there is a message on my screen.. You have 1 day to activate. WTH?
Nothing has changed. You know.. it would not be so bad if I could just
reactivate online.. but NO.. apparently my changes are SO major that I have
to call it in.. again.. and waste ANOTHER 20 minutes trying to get this crap
activated again.
/RANT OFF
Okay.. so that being said, What are my options besides going back to XP SP2
or Linux? Why would this keep deactivating? Is there a way I can back up my
activation and reapply it in the event it happens again? Like I said before,
the hardware DID NOT CHANGE.. so in theory, the backup should reactivate my
system for me.. so what files would I need to back up?
