Welcome to IWETHEY!

New You don't *have* to put your key in
I've been through this process on a number of machines, and I've not been asked for this yet.

Do you have Windows Installer v3.1 on your machine?

New Didn't ask me either. Win2k+SP4.
Yes, I also downloaded the latest Windows Update thingy (it seems to be a requirement now).

While it didn't ask for a Windows serial number, it did seem to muck around with the Product ID from Office 97...

Cheers,
Scott.
New Not here.
I'm using the corporate edition, however.
apt-get install godlike-powers
New It doesn't ask if it's initial check is OK.
I've updated a number of machines and none have asked unless it sees a problem. If it sees a problem, then you have a problem.

One of my clients thought they were too big for me and when they moved and got all new equipment they went to Verizon for tech support. There was some problem on some of their new Dells and the Verizon guy decided to reinstall Windows XP on them. Instead of asking for the CDs (available) he just shoved in a Verizon corporate license CD.

When the client went to Windows Update (which turned to Microsoft Update a few days later) it saw the corp license, one of the things it looks for, and took him to the enter you number screen. Of course, the number didn't work.

To fix this I did a repair install of Windows XP (so his desktop and registries were retained) using the original Windows XP CD from Dell. It still came up with the check window and wouldn't accep the serial number until a .dll was removed from \\Windows\\System32. The .dll is named legitchk.dll or something like that starting with legit.

New Wish you had a pfy
to whom you could dictate. (You'd have to do the prose; talent can't be delegated to those with less.)

Love to see your more recent experiences (and the trends) incorporated into the 'Important Issues' section of aaxnet. So much has worsened since late '03 (surprise!)

Aaxnet material appeals to those with a brain, those who realize they lack the time and.. personal techno-Interest? to ferret out what they Need to know something about - and within those: that tiny subset who will Act upon sensible material, despite the 24/7 hype they live immersed within.

The Deniers will, of course - not act. But who gives a shit that Deniers are the major population of the Office caste? Who'd wanna 'save' the already-Damned, anyway?

I (still) don't know of a more comprehensive summary of How We Got to Today, anywhere else - most efforts lose the pithy core within plodding 'logical' recitation of the infinite details; the shorter versions are lacking in the right mix of those examples as give your material credence.

ie Everyone needs an Editor.. apparently, except you !?
