    Hi, I am very frustrated right now.   When I bought this computer, i could not get the key STUCK TO THE COMPUTER to work.   I called Microsoft, and after being basically accused of lying ("if it were genuine, there would be no problem activating") and having to straighten it out by giving the code a few times, my computer type, processor type, serial number, model number, etc etc etc...   I was finally given a key to activate my product because the one i BOUGHT didn't work right.



    And now I wake up to this?   How is my key blocked when it was given to me from Microsoft?  How do I resolve this without wasting another hour?   This is insane.  Anyone else having similar issues?
