Ok, so in the beginning of the day I had some trouble turning my laptop on
After about 3 tries of turning it on and off i finally connected to my monitor.
It took a longer time to get everything setup when I got it to the basic
windows screen. But after a little bit when I got the browser open it said that
possible counterfitting or some shit like that is wrong with your windows and they couldn't update it.
SO after going to the recommended website to get some download it told me to fucking buy windows software AGAIN.
Now, what kind of bullshit is that.
Here's the link to the microsoft software. http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/val...eName=validate

/restore your computer to a previous state. Make sure you save all your files on a drive or something before doing it and it should go away...
I'll miss you
Did you try turning it off and on again?
<~Fear> fuck, Pv2Caribou is that you?
<~Fear> you look like you suplex fucking rhinos
If you purchased a Windows disc through legal channels you should have the key printed on the disc or whatever documentation is with it and as far as I know if you purchased a computer with Windows pre-installed (through legal channels) the key is required to be on a sticker attached to the computer.

So, Fear, using software to retrieve that same key from a running OS that you purchased sounds sketchy enough to you to justify deleting my entire post? Also it makes the thread a little confusing. Not that any of the threads on here are far from nonsense, but still.

If you have a key and you're using Windows 7, go to control panel, click system and try re-entering it as I posted before.
