Same result , no difference Well, these are the cases where you need to ask for the actual ID of the operator, and file a complain by writing, citing also the exact day and time of the call, they can trace the call on their records even if the little b**t*rd gives you a fake reference. jaclaz Your right I should of thought of that . If it ever happens again I will know better . At the time I think I was more in a shock/pi%#ed then anything because in all the years I had XP I been very care with protecting my keys and those nasty sites, Also never once did I ever had a single problem with reinstalling/activating . Oh well , clauk it up for next time around , I hope there wouldn't be a next time

Actually thats not the case , it didn't show anything on google , it shown just like if the keys are good Your search - QWS6D-F64MX-PY2DR-B7UD8-W9OPQ - did not match any documents. ( Those are not my keys , I just made those keys up just to show you what my real keys shown on Google ) Suggestions: Make sure all words are spelled correctly. Try different keywords. Try more general keywords. Try fewer keywords. She just said she not allow to do such and wouldn't go any further with the matter . I truly think she did something to my keys . Though the only explanation I got from them was there an error of some sore on my keys and nothing further to it . Made me think MS was up to something wrong but in the end I finally got new keys, Hmmmm

I made another call to MS and this time around they were much kinder . They did give me new keys , though I did ask what cause my original keys to fail , they said there was an error with them . So I really never did get a clear answer , its ok as long as these will work for me . Thanks any ways

Guys I can understand if this was the case , that someone else is behind it but I truly believe the first person I spoke with on the phone is the cause of it and I believe she might of thought that I was somewhat rude to her because I was a bit loud but really I wasn't trying to be . Though what got me more upset was when I did ask her to speak with a supervisor she wouldn't allow it . I did finally get to speak with someone else and I found that to be a bit strange to for him to say at the same day I am trying to activated my copy , that its been activated already 8 times , even if he doesn't think its me and it might be someone else don't you feel something odd about that ? I mean the first person I spoke with are conversation didn't go so well and then for the second person to say I did activated 8 times in that same day , what would be the odds if someone else was behind this and is doing it on the same day I am trying to activate my copy . come on , something not right about that . I truly feel the first person I spoke with is behind it and is causing it all. Even still I am going to go to Microsoft office building and find out what gives . I am going to bring all the prove I need . I am even going to bring my other copies I own as well ( disks & receipts ) But I must say I am VERY upset at this point .

I don't own a fax machine . Can I just go to a Microsoft office building and show them my prove ? I understand the activation part and this is where my problem lies , they the rep said I already activated windows in that day 8 times , guys, this is truly a lie . I never once got to activated that day . How is it they MS can do this ? I don't like using the word hate its to harsh but their a first for everything and I REALLY hate the tech support you get from India / Phillippines

Yes, you're right , they did say that , is that normal towards retail versions ? I was so p***ed at the time . They said something about I have to go to www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/comparekeys.aspx something like that . Its not the correct link . Anyone know the correct link ? Thanks

I am going to go there on Monday and as for my keys , they have never been view by anyone else , I keep it well hidden in my house where no one could ever find it but me, believe me when I say that . BTW did you mean > compromised ? what does comprimised mean ? thanks

Hi ... Today I went and bought a new hard drive to install xp clean but only to find out Microsoft wouldn't accept my product keys which for some reason they have blocked . I never thought a retail version could be block . I call Microsoft to find out why my keys are being blocked . I was told that I was trying to activated it to many times in one day , or something like that , which really wasn't the case . I really never got a straight answer as to why . So now my retail version is no good to use . So why should I have faith in MS if they can do this to paying customers ? I still have the bill of sale and the box where I purchase it from " Future Shop " an legit outlet . Its a retail version not an OEM and this copy is only install on this one computer , one license per computer . I paid back in 2002 $574.00 canadian for it . I never once had any issues before with reactivating it until today . What would you do in my shoes , go to the press ? THIS IS TOTALLY LEGIT .
