tanstaafl Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 I'm sure its something I did...I created a new CD, after slipstreaming the latest Ryan UPdate pack, and WMP 11 and IE 7 and updates...The CD installed perfectly except for a few minor WMP errors (at least I think they were minor), but after the install finished and subsequent reboot, I ran into an impossible problem...Apparently the NIC driver for the NIC card that was in this system was not included with Windows (I did NOT slipstream a driver pack, but that is next on my list)...When I tried to log into the system, it informed me that Windows would need to be activated before I could log in... and of course, since there was no internet (becasue there was no network), it silently failed activation and went back to the login screen...Is there a way to make this behave the same as an install from a normal CD - ie, you have 30 days to activate?Thanks for listening...Charles

Not even a guess as to why slipstreaming eliminated my 30 day window to activate? Edited April 21, 2008 by tanstaafl
