Hello all.
After doing a reinstall after a virus, I was prompted to activate.
When I attempt to comply, all I get is the activation window with no
information in it. It just sits there! Finally, I close the window and
continue with my day. There are no further reminders until I restart the
computer. Sometimes this isn't until the next day.
I am down to three days left to activate! Can anyone help? Is something
wrong with the install? (everything else works fine) Is there a phone number
I can call?

First - Start - Run and run the Iwo lines
regsvr32 licdll.dll
regsvr32 regwizc.dll

Reboot, cancel the reminder (it is not a good place to do it from), get
on the Internet and go to
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Activate windows
to do it from there

In the US, the phone number is 1-425-635-3311. Keep in mind that
long distance charges will apply. For other options you might

Step 6 of the first link you referred me to was the one that worked. I am
now activated!!! I guess I won't know what went wrong.

I'd like to add there is now a toll free number for the US as well, 18662346020

I'm on the phone with them now as I have the blank screen as well and the
support page steps aren't working for me.
