    :confused: Thank you for your time ... I installed windows 7 ultimate and used HAL7600.exe on January 4. My computer has been working great - Sony Vaio VGN FS940 32 bit x86. This morning when i turned on my computer - a message popped up that says - Windows Activation A change occurred to your Windows license file. You must re-type your Windows product key to activate online. There is a place for me to type my product key - then a Next button. I have never submitted my windows activation key. my system information -

    Windows is activated
    Product ID: ----------------- Change product key


    then on the right side of the page it says

    ask for genuine
    microsoft software

    learn more online ...


    After installing HAL I have stayed away from this section completely since I don't really know what I am doing and I don't want to mess it up. Any instructions on how to maintain my activated status would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. desperate but not serious, tina:confused:

    ok. well... now there is a new development. I downloaded the newest release of HAL and planned to install it today as you suggested. ..... so i turn on my computer this morning and there is no message from microsoft, which is so unlike them because anytime they want something from me they are relentless!! i have the philisophy - if its not broke, don't fix it! so my question is, should i install HAL 1.2 now ? or should i wait until microsoft starts their relentless nagging ? i am afraid i might screw it up - on the other hand i want to be proactive. open the porthole HAL - i am ready to take action (or not). once again, thank you for your time it much appreciated. tina

    The same thing has happened to me. I typed in the product key that I had originally used and pressed the next button. Windows checked my key and told me that it was valid! I hope this prompt does't come up again.

    You wouldn't think that one of the OEM keys pass an online check. Obviously HAL has this part sorted :)


    My background did remain black though! Had to manually set it again. Ba**ards!
