Thanks it worked for me today - bought my Mum (aged 81) an updated/upgraded Pc last year from a 'mate'
who builds them up from Computer Fair parts
;
Called to see her on Friday, and as she was off gallivanting decided to kill time by PPruning etc
- noticed updates on offer, so selected them - Result Bill Gates's protection squad struck
- hard job
explaining to Mum that she was guilty of 'software piracy'
so your fix proved to be immediately useful
If she needs a machine in future, will go the NETTO/ALDI route
