wiredbits Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 anyone else was asked to activate their OEM (i have a HP laptop) yesterdayWoke up, turned on the laptop to do a little reading and the first thing I get was a prompt asking me to activate windows, after six months this happens!I did go to HP online help and as usual did not get any so I just entered the key that is on the sticker, all went well but still I wonder why why now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiredbits Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 http://www.msfn.org/board/Tutorial-Clean-W...ll-t102095.htmlThanks for the reply but I am aware of ABR, used it months ago when I first found the thread here on MSFNGuess I was not clear in my OP, the OEM key that HP installs does not work anymore. I was always under the impression that key would always be accepted by MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmhome1 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 The latest Vista update addressed activation cracks, probably close enough to blacklisted to trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
