shazboz Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Well I just bought MCE 2005 becuase I honestly thought it would be a cool upgrade from XP pro (being able to record all my shows and all). So I installed the software no probs, got to my login screen and it continuosly prompts me to activate so I try and then it says my CD Key is invalid. So I contacted MS and they said to install this patch that was a hotfix for this problem, but it didnt work cause the patch needs to be applied before the install and with only SP1 installed WTF!! who leaves SP1 on anyways with all the security holes. So I guess i wanna no if there is any way i can get around this, even a crack (i couldnt give a **** about MS, they said they would have to charge me for additional services (when i just bought the **** thing!!) so any help out there?? At the moment my PC is a brick, a very pretty brick, but a brick nonetheless!
