Besttechie Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hi vagrant00,Your best bet at this point is to contact Microsoft and tell them what's going on and most likely they'll give you an activation code for your machine. I've done it in the past and they had no problem helping me reactivate my machine. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vagrant00hn Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 ok, i know the question is kinda dumb,but im in a country where there is no actual microsoft offices, so how can i contact them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nitti Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Try this number, (800) 936-5700 . If your pc will boot, on the activation screen, choose i want to activate by phone.brax Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vagrant00hn Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 the number didn't work, and this is what i get once, ive clicked yes on a previous message box, that say that my copy of windows must be activated for me to log on.1.bmp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) Thank you, Barb! Of course, being a female, finding telephone numbers is easier for us Now, deciphering the MS/Honduras Site was a little challenging, its been many years since I took Spanish. Now, hoping Vagrant called MS and got the fix! (No news is good news, right? )Liz Edited March 19, 2007 by blim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
