Ah - so it was me. I extracted the contents of the original SP from the HP site and it had a file of the same name, so that's confirmation at least So. After a minor struggle, I got a bootable USB stick with the right version of AFUDOS, and flashed the original 1.07 firmware (the machine was still on 1.05), then your file. As there was no further instructions or details, I dug up a HP cert and a key for Win 7 Ultimate, and popped those two oh-so-magical commands into an elevated shell, with both commands claiming to be successful. Unfortunately, I still get "30 days to activate" in the System control-panel. Wha' happen? Wrong cert? Bad SLIC? Is there a way to clear the cert-and-key I've added? Any further suggestions? (for the record, Compaq-HP DX2810 minitower, the 'ENERGYSAVER' designation, with Win7 Ultimate 32-bit)
