no i have all legit cd-key ... when i said i tried it with my others computer it was also with another cd key. Each comp have his license.
And if my cd -key was used by someone else .. i might get a Genuine microsoft validation error ... i not getting anything ... just that green bar .. it could stay all night like this if i leave it ..... Last edited by Burn; 10-26-2005 at 01:35 AM. |

Could be an IE misconfiguration. Try going to tools-internet options-security tab-and set it to default level.
