    I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this and that the answer isn't going to be one I like. but, I might as well ask anyway. Years ago, I got a computer that had a ripped version of Windows already installed on it. I used it for a while, but I wanted to go genuine so that I could download new features, etc. What I did was I took my old hard drive, and set it up as a slave drive to a new, empty hard drive that I installed as my master drive. A friend said he had Windows CD that was valid that I bought off of him. He said he had previously used it, but got rid of that computer, salvaging all its parts into different computers. He no longer uses that version, but bought the Windows copy less than two years ago. I paid him for his CD, but it tells me the CD key is invalid. Is there a way to disassociate the CD key with his computer so that the key can now be used on a new computer?

    Well, a couple of hours after I posted this, I went ahead and purchased a genuine product key, updated my windows, and installed Service Pack 2. My big problem right now is that I can't open Control Panel. When I try to, my whole task bar disappears for a minute, and then comes back, and nothing happens. Does anybody know what's happening or how I can fix it?
