Start the activation process, and when given the option, agree to activate by phone.. follow the directions on your screen.. when asked why you are re-activating, tell the rep that you upgraded the BIOS on your machine.. your installation will be re-activated.. "mattman"

Make the phone call and explain what you did. Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew! "mattman"
