Stone_age Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 A friend of mine, using XP home sp2, just bought nero ultimate, and installed it. He imediately got a re-activate prompt. He swears no hardware changes have been made. Why in the world would an app cause that??And I know I've seen it here somewhere, but what hardware changes does XP look for besides the obvious motherboard/cpu/vidcard/hardrive?

Andromeda43 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Try System Restore and go back a day.Next time, shut down ALL running software before installing anything new.Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asin Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I don't know much about activation itself, but I do know that Nero installs a virtual optical drive by default. That could be considered a hardware change if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
