Hi, I did a repair install of Windows 7 RC (Build 7100) and now it wants me to activate Windows again but will not accept my original key. This key worked for initial activation but now it's saying the key is not valid. Any ideas?
if you can still get onto windows go to http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/ValidateNow.aspx?displaylang=en and click "validate windows" and type in your key. it will bypass the internal key check and validate it straight from Microsoft. this will also activate your copy of windows (if you have a valid license)
