Driver rollback require activation

[Guest]

I rolled back the drive on my Marvell network chip set from the April 25,
2005 version Windows Update installed to the April 1, 2005 version Marvell
provided. Now, I'm told there's been a substantial change to my PC and I have
to activate Windows. AGAIN!!! This makes the fourth or fifth time I've had to
reactivate Windows on the same computer!!! No, I'm not swapping parts right
and left. The only changes since I built my PC last August were installing a
CR-RW drive, a V92 modem, and rolling back the Marvell drivers. This is a it
ridiculous. Why don't the folls who wrote the activation code just log the
mobo and CPU numbers instead of every last piece of hardware and software?
Anyway, Windows can't log in either to activate the mofosumbum OS. Now what?

Your web site can't be displayed. The other site doesn't say a thing about
needing to reactivate after doing a rollback.
Bottom line - WPA sucks for air.
