Thanks for letting me know about the licencing thing. I didn't realise all of the keys were listed there. I removed the link to my results. Can you please remove it from yours? Thanks!

done.

Wow, nicely done Binaural...took me 3 times to get it right.

Are you on PC or Mac? If PC, then I am sure you have done the Microsoft registration over the phone at least once, right? I am on another group that is having the discussion about how bad their computer is with voice recognition on the registration keys.

By saying you have corrupted it multiple times, I am going to guess you are using WinXP.

i don't have those problems with microsoft phone support. i refuse to call them or play their little "anti-piracy" games.

www.belarc.com/free_download.html to get the program that makes that info page.

I don't really think it's a good idea to go posting your registration keys for stuff like ms office and windows. That's a little more towards the stupid rather than brave side.

Oh, and good thing you're putting in a video card, onboard video sucks. Don't forget to disable it in the bios.

edit: or your mac address.

EEEEK! TMI! ccanni, maybe you should photoshop some of that info out...or I can just delete the links from the quotes, if you'd prefer.

it's not that hard to build a PC. My 11 year old has built his own and m 4 years old pretty much put together his own (under my watchful eye). Well he put all the hardware in, I did the os install. Really, it isn' that hard... and before you say you can't do it... I bet you can!

I've supervised (via telephone) my dad building pc's. It took some convincing, but now I have no doubt that I could ship him a box of parts and he'd be able to put it together. He'd probably agree with you about the os install being the most time consuming part.

That part I'm good at, lol. I've corrupted my os enough times that I'm an old hand at that.

Well, okay, twice and ding ding ding, XP.

right now i'm on an HP zd7000 laptop. nice little machine all in all. much nicer since i took some lysol wet wipes and cleaned the 9 months of Iraqi crap, dust and grime off the keyboard that had accumulated. I feel like i'm on a new computer!! *lol*

i just bought an HP desktop off of woot, so once i get home i'll have that going. and i've got a personally built Athlon 1 GHz running at home, overclocked to 1.2 or 1.3 GHz, i forget which. Raid 0, all the good stuff for the time it was built. it's kind of dated now, but it's still a nice little computer.
