Joke TBH

Got another 2gig form ocuk this morning, put it in, running sweet then i get informed that windows has been deactivated.

Time for a phone call i suppose but no wonder they make people turn to the dark side when this is the service you get

Should let you just click a button to do it online?

Not really the end of the world is it?

If the Internet option isn't there or doesn't work, phone them... you will be surprised at the service you get actually.

As said above - it's hardly the end of the world if/when it happens.
I'd like to note at this time that since the introduction of PA in WinXP I've never had a single PC require reactivation after a memory upgrade/downgrade.
And let me tell you I've done a hell of a lot.

well turns out my system wasnt as stable as i thought, choppy in games and failed the vista mem test right at the end./

Took the Ram back out and vista reactivated without any intervention

Any suggessitons on how to make the ram more stable, Running 2.1v and 4-4-4-12 timings

i have just upgrade my 2 HDD and vista 64bit was fine with it
no reactivation needed, strange it needed it just for a ram upgrade
