    If -- and it's unfortunate -- you cannot prove purchase (worn sticker ), you probably will have to purchase a new PK, yes ....unless the key finder tool grabs the key//

    Bob,

    Which I acknowledged, hence the reason for the thanks
  • Which version of windows is it? I have a couple of ununsed keys...no promises that I'll have the one you need spare, but if I do then they're worth a try.


    Thanks for the reply, It is Windows Vista that my laptop uses.

  • when you go through activation it should give you the option to change the key... and if it wont let you change the key, one must have been put in, in the first place...
  • *****UPDATE*****

    Hey guys, I have now located my product key by using Magic Jelly Bean Keyfinder. I thought this would be the end of my problems but, nowthe computer will noy accept the code with the error message 0xC004E003.

    Any idea what my next move should be :p.

    Cheers guys
