What the ***?

I formatted twice in a fairly short space of time (I'd guess 3 weeks) and I've noticed it hasn't auto activated Windows.

When I tell it to activate, I get this message and it refuses to activate.

It's worked fine every other time ?

Why should I have to phone?

*not been ****y just wondering*

Why isn't it working via the net like it has done every other time?

*my net has been awful recently, but this isn't to do with that?*

I activated it via the phone service.

Just bugged me that it wouldn't work.

My net has been awful recently, I thought a format and a clean Windows would help incase I'd picked up something nasty.

No. Just god awful service from Virgin Media.
