    Seems like M$ has killed the upgrade to Pro with Media Center using default keys. It said it accepted the key and then errored during the upgrade and now it says the key won't work... :mad:

    Disregard. Computer glitch, reboot allowed upgrade to complete.

    P.S. No it was not an id10t or pebcac error either. Just Windoze being stupid.

    Someone send me 1 key each so I can install:

    Windows 3.1
    Windows 95
    Windows 98
    Windows Me
    Windows 2000
    Windows XP
    Windows Vista
    Windows 7
    Windows 8
    Windows 8.1

    :rolleyes:

    :druff:

    :punish:

    :suicide:

    PS. Figured I'd get them all out of the way so no one asks for any more keys. Seriously folks, it's not cool.

    As to me - I prefer Handy Backup as a hard disc clone software. :p

    If you're calling from a real phone, this would be very surprising.

    If you're calling from Skype, make sure to bring up the number pad in the conversation window, then you can click on the numbers (or even use the keyboard).

    Press key 1 not working = Microphone ERROR

    You have NO Microphone OR Your Microphone is NOT setup

    You need a Microphone to use skype number Pad .;)
