Strangly enough Microsoft didnt have a problem with me having purchased it when I rang them with problems (even if they couldnt fix it :rolleyes: )

Did you actually tell them that you didn't buy it with a computer? I'm sure they would've much rather you'd bought the retail version... ;)

Yes I did, where I bought it and how much.

However, its bitten me back simply because it now wont update as its a year old, and MS are following the line that its probably asking for the PC makers code or something.

Yeah, on an 0870 number it adds up! Found there call centre to be pretty inconsistent - one time I phoned up complaining of a software key not being accepted, they just gave me a different one to use. Another time, phoning up about the same thing, they told me to try it again in a few days... :rolleyes:
