re: Had to reactivate Friday, February 20, 2009 at 6:11 am Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dan Sarandrea, MCSE (7132 messages posted) Steve, run this utility from Microsoft http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 and then have a close look at the report. I have not seen any of these from Win7 (maybe I'll run it on my installation to check it out) but I think since W7 is really Vista Second Edition, just about anything regarding activation that applies to Vista is also going to apply to W7. So do the report and then have a look at Darin Smith's responses in the Vista WGA forum here: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads/ In most responses he provides a lot of detail to help "civilians" like us figure out some of the specifics of Vista's software licensing service and what kinds of problems on the system tend to upset the system. In fact you may want to post the report here so we can figure it out together, if possible.
