Windows Activation and MSN unable to connect

[Guest]

I just reformatted my computer and installed Windows MCE. Internet for
browsing, games and everything else seems to be working flawlessly. However,
whenever I try to activate my Windows. I get a message number: 32777 "Unable
to establish connection with activation server. Please check your network
setting and confirm that you are able to connect to the Internet, then try
again." Even when I am connection to MSN Messenger or MSN 7.5 it gives me the
unable to connect screen.

I have tried disabling all Windows, Norton firewalls but this still does not
work. I cant update my Windows and I am unable to install certain things
because I cant get my Windows activated. Its very fustrating - what can I do
to fix this? Thanks

Have you tried calling the number to activate? Select the activate by phone
option. When that's done update your PC and see if that will get you on your
way.
