    I don’t have the section “Windows activation” in my properties. I get the pop-up telling me that my windows 7 isn’t legal, but I know its legal. I just want to re-enter the serial-key and get the problem out of my way. I don’t want to reinstall windows and clean up the computer after. Can you help me?
    Kind regards Søren “Drelle” Dissing
