[awsskater892]

Hi, I just installed windows after formatting my harddrive. I installed all my drivers and everything, then i tried to activate my genuine copy of windows, and it says my serial number has been used too many times, but i have only used it once. what should i do? please help me out.

That`s happened to me before. Simply, choose to activate via the phone. If you have probelms with that as I did, speak to a Microsoft rep and I`m fairly sure they`ll sort it out for you, as they did me.

Regards Howard
