Activation / Product Key Issues If, when you do a fresh install of Windows 7, your Product Key is invalid then: Continue to install without using a Product Key Once you've reached the desktop, download and run this script: oobefixer.zip ( 482bytes ) Number of downloads: 106 Restart your computer Activate Windows as normal Please only use this method if you own a full legal copy of Vista or XP and a legal 7 upgrade. -------------------- // Intel Q6600 SLACR // DFI Lanparty DK-P35-T2RS // 4gb OCZ PC2-8500c5 Platinum // 80gb Intel X25-M // EVGA 9800gtx+ // ESI Julia // Corsair HX1000 // Windows 7 Pro x64 // QUOTE (Kash @ Nov 23 2009, 02:11 AM) Don't flatter yourself DarkFuneral, no gay guy is going to rape you.

It's probably all over the net, but news to me! Edit: 262 downloads? Possibly my most useful ever post then -------------------- // Intel Q6600 SLACR // DFI Lanparty DK-P35-T2RS // 4gb OCZ PC2-8500c5 Platinum // 80gb Intel X25-M // EVGA 9800gtx+ // ESI Julia // Corsair HX1000 // Windows 7 Pro x64 // QUOTE (Kash @ Nov 23 2009, 02:11 AM) Don't flatter yourself DarkFuneral, no gay guy is going to rape you.

New Member Group: Members Joined: 10-November 09 Member No.: 69,452	For some reason, I am getting an error: ERROR: Unable to create file "C:\7.iso of ######### bytes. Erorr 5: Access is denied. I am sure that my user account is an admin account, and I've double checked that I have the correct files in the right spots. Are there permissions I need to change? Is there a certain way to run a command prompt as an admin other than BEING an admin and opening a cmd prompt? Thanks
