IF I format and re-install the system the internet activatio TW> nwil lbe Rejected and I will have to Phone in and Explain the TW> circumstances. Let me also use your expression... not so. I have done only a few OEM redo. Most of the ones that I have done for retail versions was so smoothly done. No need to talk to an MS rep. As I mentioned before, if the modem or RJ45 is connected, all is done streaminly. A screen will pop up and congratulate you. Do get rid of your "mindset" that it is a chore to make you sweat, it is not ! Your information is wrong, change it. Again in Kamouraska ! Have a great day ! ___ Blue Wave/DOS v2.30 --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140) .
