Hi All

Well MS doe's a new one on me again. Just to keep the record straight I bought in 2005 XP Pro sp2 @ $199.99 at Frys Electronics.

I've reformated more than a few times for a number of reasons includeing just to clean out all the crap.

The last time I had to call to rergister and Activate OK.

Last nite I updated my NaVidia card drivers and it did a restart OK.

But to my suprise after I entered my password BOOM !!! Up popped a window from MS telling me since I made a major HARDWARE UPGRADE I
had to REREGISTER and REACTIVATE . Just for installing Drivers?

Has this happened to anyone else? And those ASSHATS at MS think I'll upgrade to VISTA. YAH RIGHT.

Again I ask ,Has this happened to anyone else ?
