[QUOTE="Saturlight, post: 397537, member: 233652"] The Microsoft web site always hisses me off. They always claim to let you download "free" software and updates and every computer I have had (I've had five), each time I try to download something, I get a message saying your Windows software is illegal and not genuine... "However, to purchase the correct one, you can pay $79!" Yeah, very convenient for them that my software is "illegal and not genuine". All my computer purchases are legal - more so the WINDOWS STUFF BECAUSE THEY COME WITH THE COMPUTER! I try to avoid Microsoft but I wanted to download the latest version of the Windows Media player (11), but once again, I was told that my Windows XP was illegal and not genuine. Load of crap. :mad: Sorry to sound angry, but they really hiss me off. The helpline asked me to check the number on the tower with the number on my Microsoft welcome pack. "They should be the same." THEY ARE!! :mad: All I got from the supposed helpline was, "If you pay the $79". Will I pluck! :mad: Sorry, in a bad mood. I hate being ripped off. My apologies. :D :D [/QUOTE]
